The Western Nebraska Community College men hung tough, but fell to Iowa Western Community College 90-79 in the second day of the NJC Classic.
The Cougars trailed 38-31 at halftime and were down by nearly 20 points in the second half, but managed to cut the lead to single digits with a minute to go on 3-pointers by Erik Smith and CJ Hampton. But, the comeback was not to be as the Cougars fell to 7-3 on the season.
Mathew Akins led the Cougars with 16 points followed by CJ Hampton with 15, Ricardo De Bem with 15, Erik Smith with 10 and Chance Wallesen with eight.
The Cougars will be back in action Wednesday when they travel to North Platte Community College for a sub-region contest. That game was scheduled for last week, but postponed to Dec. 6 after the refs were stuck in Denver because of the snow.
