Blugolds' comeback bid runs out of time

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (blugolds.com) — The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire men's basketball team trimmed a 26-point deficit down to eight in the second half, but couldn't complete the rally in an 89-77 defeat to UW-Whitewater on Saturday at Zorn Arena. The Blugolds couldn't overcome a torrid shooting performance from the Warhawks, who knocked down 64% of their shots — including 10 of 16 3-pointers.
