Georgetown College men's basketball seemed on fire Senior Day with a commanding 17-point lead in the first half, but Lindsey Wilson College did what the Blue Raiders did in Columbia - rally and win a close 71-69 game Saturday.

The No. 10 Tigers (20-7, 10-5 Mid-South Conference) fall a half game back of LWC (18-8, 10-4) in conference play with a week left.

Allan Thomas came off the bench to lead GC with 18, while Jordan DeMercy added 10 points. Chase Spreen finished with 20 and Chase Cox (16) and Charles Baker (10) also scored in double-digits. The loss snaps a 43-game conference winning streak inside Davis-Reid Alumni Gym.

The Tigers return to action next Thursday on the road at University of Rio Grande, looking to right the ship.
