MILWAUKEE – MSOE men's basketball got one final home game in before the start of the NACC tournament and were looking to enter the postseason on a high note with a win over the Green Knights. The Raiders could never get into a rhythm offensively however and allowed St. Norbert to take home a double digit win on Wednesday night at the Kern Center.

FINAL SCORE
St. Norbert – 74
MSOE RAIDERS – 49

HOW IT HAPPENED

• MSOE (9-14, 5-11 NACC) scored the first two points of the night against St. Norbert (15-9, 11-6 NACC) but the Green Knights quickly took the lead right back and led the rest of the way.
• The Raiders couldn't get anything to fall in the first half, shooting 8-35 from the field and were down by 18 points at the break.
• The Red & White made another eight shots in the final 20 minutes of play, but SNC outpaced them again as they shot 51.7 percent in the second half and 55.8 percent in the game.
• One area that MSOE outscored the Green Knights in was points off the bench (32-23) but it wasn't nearly enough in the Raiders 25-point loss.
