The nation's 15th-ranked Ferris State University men's basketball squad erased an 11-point halftime deficit early in the second half and came away with its 12th win of the season, beating longtime Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) rival Lake Superior State 90-86 on Saturday (Jan. 6) at FSU's Jim Wink Arena.
Before a big crowd on hand for FSU's first GLIAC home doubleheader of the season, the Bulldogs outscored LSSU 54-39 to pull out the win in another classic matchup against the Lakers. Ferris State moved to 12-2 overall and 2-1 in conference play with the triumph.
The Lakers jumped in front early and built a 14-point lead late in the opening half while shooting nearly 70% from the floor in the opening 20 minutes of action. Lake Superior State held a 47-36 margin at the halftime break, but the Lakers were outscored 54-39 by FSU in the second half as the Bulldogs responded in a big way.
