UC Riverside vs, Portland State Game Notes
Dallas, TX—The UC Riverside Men’s Basketball Team evened its overall record at 2-2 Saturday evening as they upset the host SMU Mustangs 73-69 in overtime in their second game of the SMU Invitational. The final game of the tournament for the Highlanders is slated for Sunday, November 21 at 2:30 pm PT. Fans who are unable to attend the game may listen live as the Voice of the Highlanders, John Ramey, brings the call fro coutrside to gohighlanders.com.
Phil Martin led the way for UCR on Saturday with a career-high 29 points on 11 of 12 shooting from the field including nine in the overtime period. Javon Borum broke out of his shoting slump to help the cause as his 18-foot jumper on the Highlanders last possession of regulation tied the game to send it into OT.
The SMU Invitational is the first in-season tournament for the Highlanders during the Jim Wooldridge era, and just the second for the team since UCR made the transition to Division I ten seasons ago.
The last time UCR played in a tournament such as this which requires teams to play on three consecutive days was at the beginning of the 2006-07 season. The Iowa State Cyclones hosted the event which saw the Highlanders lose 69-61 to Iowa State on November 10, upend Eastern Illinois on November 11 by a 64-55 score, and drop a 76-64 decision to Louisiana Monroe on November 12.This will be the first game between UC Riverside and SMU, while the Highlanders and Portland State Vikings split their two previous meetings from the 1970s.
