FULLERTON, Calif. – Cal State Fullerton men's basketball fell to Wyoming at Titan Gym Sunday afternoon by a final score of 73-69. Fullerton drops to 4-9 on the year with the loss.Â
The Titans made a valiant effort at a comeback after falling behind by as many as 19 points in the second half.Â
Fullerton trailed 50-31 early in the second before going on a 16-4 run to climb back in the game. The Titans defense held Wyoming without a field goal for nearly eight minutes of action during that stretch.Â
Zion Richardson capped off the run with a huge three-pointer to cut the Titans deficit to just eight points with 10:33 remaining in the game.Â
From that point on the Titans slowly chipped away at the Cowboys lead before eventually making it a two-point game with 37 seconds left thanks to two made free-throws by Donovan Oday.Â
With 10 seconds on the clock, Wyoming was fouled going to the rim and made both free-throws to all but seal the victory.Â
Oday and Richardson were key down the stretch for the Titans, scoring 13 and 11 second half points, respectively. Oday led the team with 18 points on 4-of-8 shooting while grabbing a tied for team-high five rebounds.Â
Kaleb Brown added 11 points for the Titans while grabbing five boards and dishing out a team-high three assists. Zachary Visentin was a spark plug off the bench for Fullerton, scoring a career-high 11 points on a perfect 5-of-5 from the floor. Â
The Titans bench was a key factor all night, scoring 29 points while out-scoring Wyoming's bench unit 29-18.Â
Fullerton looks to bounce back Saturday, Dec. 28 at Titan Gym as it hosts Noble in its final nonconference matchup.
