COLORADO SPRINGS, CO -- After trailing by as many as eight points on the road at Colorado College in front of an electric crowd, Texas Lutheran showed a ton of heart, coming back to take a two-point lead with 2.3 seconds to play. But Scott Cunningham delivered a heartbreaking dagger to the Bulldogs - nailing a three as time expired - giving Colorado College a 75-74 victory.

Colorado College (6-16, 4-9 SCAC) opened the second half pacing the Bulldogs as their lead hovered around their six-point halftime advantage. The Bulldogs (6-13, 4-7 SCAC) remained poised and slowly chipped away making the final 13 minutes a back-and-forth contest. Xavier Phillips (Austin/Dripping Springs) scored all 10 of his points in the second half to keep the Bulldogs alive. Jamir Mason (Pearland/St. Thomas Episcopal) hit a mid-range jumper with 2.3 seconds remaining to give the Bulldogs a 74-72 lead, but Cunningham and the Tigers would go the length of the floor to hit the buzzer beater to thwart the Bulldogs.

Riley Fornerette (Surprise, Ariz./Dysart) finished with 16 points - making all three of his three-point attempts - to lead the Bulldogs, one point off of his career high. Garrett Prince (San Antonio/MacArthur) would score seven of his nine points in the second half and would finish with a game-high five blocks defensively. Sebastian Andrade (El Paso/Americas) and Isaac Orozco (Helotes/O'Connor) would also reach double-figures - scoring 14 and 11 points respectively.

The Bulldogs shot 41% from the field and made three out of their final four shots down the stretch. Colorado College shot 44.8% for the game and had 14 second chance points to the Bulldogs four which proved to be pivotal.

The Bulldogs' stretch of five road games in 11 days continues on Wednesday, February 9th, as they travel to San Antonio for a rematch with first place Trinity (TX). Tip-off is currently set for 6 PM from Calgaard Gymnasium. All streaming and stat links can be found on tlubulldogs.com.
