[Men's Basketball] RedStorm men slip past Wilberforce

Rio Grande Sports Information    RIO GRANDE, Ohio – It looked a lot like one of those classic battles between Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed that were staged in the "Rocky" movie series.    Eleven ties and 17 lead changes sufficiently said everything you need to know about the University of Rio Grande's get together with Wilberforce University on Tuesday night at the Newt Oliver Arena.    The RedStorm was the beneficiary on the last of those lead changes, though, as Miki Tadic canned a go-ahead three-pointer with 1:14 left to play and head coach Ryan Arrowood's club held on in the final seconds for a 67-65 win over the Bulldogs in non-conference men's basketball action.    Rio Grande improved to 6-5 overall and won for the 38th time in 47 all-time meetings with Wilberforce.    The Bulldogs, who had won each of the previous three meetings in the series, dropped to 4-13 with a sixth consecutive loss.
