Mastodons can t overcome Vikings, Hodge
JUSTIN A. COHN | The Journal Gazette
The Purdue Fort Wayne men’s basketball team was ecstatic to be back on the court over the weekend, not surprising after seven games had been scrapped and a last-minute change to the schedule put Cleveland State at the Gates Center for two games.
Once the Mastodons break down film of Sunday’s 89-80 loss to Cleveland State, one in which PFW was dominated by a relatively unknown player, but able to scrap its way back from 34 points down in the second half, the Mastodons will likely hammer home the idea that just playing isn’t enough – they’ve got to play better, even in these unpredictable times.
PFW falls to Cleveland State in Horizon debut
VICTORIA JACOBSEN | The Journal Gazette
The Mastodons made it dramatic in the final seconds, but Purdue Fort Wayne s first conference game as a member of the Horizon League ended in disappointment with a 63-61 loss to Cleveland State.
PFW trailed by five points with 6 seconds remaining, but when the Vikings tried to heave the ball across the court on the in-bounds play it was caught by Jarred Godfrey, who was fouled as he went up for the 3-point shot. He hit all three free throws to cut Cleveland State s lead to 63-61.
