PORTLAND, Ore. - Despite a monster night from Craig McGee, The College of Idaho men's basketball team could not erase a second half deficit, as No. 16 ranked Warner Pacific toppled the Yotes, 89-78, tonight in C.C. Perry Gymnasium.

 

The junior tied a career-high with 30 points to go along with 14 rebounds - recording his seventh-consecutive double-double.

 

Unfortunately, it was the Knights (15-5, 8-4 CCC) that defeated the Yotes for the second time this season.  Marquis Robinson scored 15 of his career-high 17 points in the second half, including nine-straight points in one stretch that helped WP build a 72-57 lead with five minutes remaining.

 

Early on, it was a see-saw affair, with the Yotes (12-10, 8-4) tying the score at 23-23 on a Terriel Thomas lay-up with seven minutes left in the half.  However, the Knights would get a triple from Jake Glisson, starting an 8-0 run that would give WP the lead for good.

 

Adam Moore led the Knights with 23 points, with Glisson adding 16.  Kaylone Riley had six points, 13 rebounds, and four blocks for the victors.

 

Steffen Spinks had 14 points, with Bryan Champ scoring 13 in the loss for the Yotes, who have not won at WP since the 2004-05 season.

 

The Coyotes return to action on Friday night, hosting Southern Oregon at 7:30 p.m.
