WHITEWATER, Wis. – MSOE men's basketball ended play before the Thanksgiving holiday on a four-game winning streak and were looking to run that total up to five when they traveled to UW-Whitewater. Unfortunately, that streak came to an end as the Raiders closed out the month of November with an eight-point loss on Saturday.

FINAL SCORE
MSOE – 63
UW-Whitewater – 71

HOW IT HAPPENED

• MSOE (5-2, 1-0 NACC) never led in the contest as UW-Whitewater (3-2, 0-0 WIAC) jumped out to a ten-point lead just five minutes into the ballgame and held the Raiders at bay for most of the half.
• Down by seven entering the second frame, MSOE improved their shooting and only had one turnover, but they still couldn't cool down the Warhawks hot hand.
• UWW shot 50.9 percent in the game, including making nine of their 18 three point attempts, in the Red & White's first loss since November 6^th.

RAIDER REMARKS

• The Raiders are now 0-4 against UW-Whitewater in a series that started back in 1983. The two teams last saw each other back during the 2007 season.
• Senior Michael Pitrof continues to score buckets in bunches and is now just 35 points away from 1,000.
