CLARKSVILLE, AR -- Texas Lutheran dropped Friday night's contest at University of the Ozarks (AR), 74-58, at Mabee Gymnasium in Clarksville, Arkansas - spoiling the homecoming of TLU assistant coach and Ozarks alum Bryson Johnson.

After leading 36-31 at the halftime break, Ozarks would start the second half on an 11-0 run and outscore the Bulldogs 38-27 in the second half.
The Eagles shot 37.3% from the field on the night and held a 42-28 advantage in points in the paint. The Eagles outrebounded the Bulldogs 56-30.
