Wright State Raiders at Northern Kentucky Norse
· NCAA Men's Basketball
76 - 83
McDonald, Murray lead N Kentucky past Wright St, 83-76
Lavone Holland II had 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting, five rebounds and six assists for Northern Kentucky (19-10, 10-6 Horizon League), which has won five of its last six.
McDonald hit a pair of free throws, and Jordan Garnett scored five points during, a 9-0 run that gave the Norse a 72-67 lead with 3:52 left. Grant Benzinger's 3-pointer capped a 7-2 run by Wright State to tie it about 2 1/2 minutes later and, after a jumper by Holland, Mark Alstork hit two foul shots to make it 76-all. Holland then found McDonald who was fouled as he made a layup and converted the 3-point play before he and Holland each hit a pair of free throws to cap the scoring.
Alstork scored 24 and Benzinger added 20 points for Wright State (19-10, 10-6), but the duo combined to make just 12 of 35 field-goal attempts.
NKU and the Raiders are now tied, a half-game behind third-place Green Bay, in the conference standings.
