KENNESAW, Ga.  – Kennesaw State men's basketball team ended the regular season against the Lipscomb Bisons and Lipscomb got the better of KSU on senior night 85-74 at the KSU Convocation Center.
 
Before the game, Kendrick Ray, Aubrey Williams and Cameron Neysmith were recognized on the court as seniors.
 
Kyle Clarke led the team with a career high 16 points and Williams added his 19^th double-double of the season with 13 points and 14 rebounds.
 
The Owls built a six point lead early, but Lipscomb got on a roll from the outside. Coming into the game, the Bisons were seventh in the county at attempted three pointers and went 14-27 for the game from behind the arc. In the first half alone, they hit 11 three pointers to take a commanding 62-29 lead into halftime.
 
Kennesaw State wasn't going to give up though, as the team continued to battle in the second half and went on several runs of their own in the final 20 minutes, but the early deficit and Lipscomb's hot shooting were too much to overcome as the Owls fell 85-74 in the regular season finale.
 
In total, the Owls had five players in double figures. To go along with Clarke and Williams, Ray had 14, Tyler Hooker had 13 and Anthony Wilson finished with 10. Wilson also was second on the team with eight rebounds, had four steals and four assists.
 
With the regular season over, Kennesaw State will now turn its attention to the ASUN Tournament, where the Owls will travel and play USC Upstate on Monday, February 27 at 7 p.m.
