LAS VEGAS, Nev. – The Eastern Oregon University men's basketball team continued to show promise on the hardwood, but again the Mountaineers fell just short in overtime to a quality NAIA Division I opponent, dropping a 76-72 decision to (RV) Vanguard (Calif.) on Saturday evening.

Junior guard Kentrell Washington netted his seventh-straight double-double with 25 points and 14 rebounds, while senior guard Case Rada registered 18 points, including a 3-for-7 effort from beyond the arc. In addition, sophomore guard Miles Loupe added a career-high 10 points and four assists off the bench.

EOU led at halftime, 34-30, but were outscored 8-4 in the extra period.

The Mountaineers (3-4) launched a 43.9 percent clip from the field and pounded Vanguard (4-0) on the glass, 41-25. However, the Navy and Gold coughed up 18 turnovers en route to the defeat.
