St. Cloud State has four-game winning streak snapped

St. Cloud, Minn.- St. Cloud State Men's Basketball (18-11, 14-7 NSIC) had their four-game winning streak snapped after falling 70-52 against RV Minnesota State. The Mavericks struck first in the game as a three-pointer put them up 11-4 five minutes into the game. Back-to-back layups for the Huskies offense started to pile momentum for SCSU as the teams battled back and forth. A layup by Nate Dahl cut the deficit to three points with 10:47 left in the half. From that layup, the Mavericks then went on an 8-0 run to lead by double-digits as they now held the momentum. MSU held that lead steadily the remainder of the half as they went into the break up 39-25. In the second half, St. Cloud State could never find a flow to their offense. From the 15:36 mark of the first half, SCSU had nearly a nine minute drought where they did not make a field goal.
