ARKADELPHIA- Even early in the first half, you could sense the game would come down to the wire, and that sentiment came true on Thursday night as Ouachita Baptist defeated Christian Brothers, 59-54, in a defensive battle for the Tigers second Gulf South Conference victory of the season at Bill Vining Arena in Arkadelphia.
Ouachita (6-16, 2-7 GSC West) didn’t match up with the much larger Buccaneers on paper, but with a balanced effort from the Tigers and a great performance from the lone senior on the roster, Belford Williams, Ouachita had just enough in the end to upset Christian Brothers (14-8, 4-5 GSC West). The victory marked the first time Ouachita has defeated Christian Brothers since Jan. 24, 2008. In a game where rebounds, shooting percentage and turnovers were close in comparison for both squads, it was the plus-16 made free-throws difference for Ouachita with 21 points at the line, compared to Christian Brother’s 5-for-7 effort.
