Breakdowns cost Lincoln men in loss

For every punch the Lincoln Blue Tigers threw Wednesday night, the Central Missouri Mules had a better counterpunch.

Thanks to better execution down the stretch, the Mules claimed a 69-60 win in men's basketball action at Jason Gym.

"We played hard, the kids did a heck of a job, but there was always a breakdown somewhere that cost us," Lincoln coach John Redmond said.
