CHADRON, Neb. – After a gritty win and last-second loss on the road, Chadron State men’s basketball returns to the friendly confines of the Chicoine Center for two key RMAC games as the league standings continue to take shape.
Chadron State (7-9, 3-5 RMAC) will host Westminster (9-7, 3-5 RMAC) on Thursday night at 7 p.m. before welcoming Colorado Mesa (10-6, 4-4 RMAC) on Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m.
Both games will be live streamed by CSC Live on the RMAC Network. Tickets remain available for both games and can be purchased online or at the door.
Looking Back
The Eagles earned a tough road win, knocking off Adams State 91-86 for their first win in Alamosa since 2009, before falling in overtime to New Mexico Highlands by a 97-96 score.
The loss to Highlands, which CSC sustained on a buzzer-beating three-pointer that took several minutes of video review to uphold, is the latest in a string of heartbreakers for the Eagles.
It marks both the second straight matchup that New Mexico Highlands has defeated Chadron State in overtime (the Cowboys won 90-82 in OT in Chadron last season) and is the second time this year that CSC has lost at the buzzer, with Texas A&M-Kingsville previously beating the Eagles 73-71 at the last second, also in overtime.
