FRANKFORT, Ky. -- The Lindsey Wilson College men's basketball team went scoreless for 7:33 midway in the second half and fell 67-54 to Georgetown (Ky.) College in the Mid-South Conference Tournament semifinals tonight at the Frankfort Civic Center.

While the Blue Raiders were in a drought, the top-seeded Tigers (28-3) scored 18 points to turn a five-point deficit into a 13-point lead.
The No. 4-seed Blue Raiders (19-12) led at the break 33-32 and used an early second-half spurt to lead 39-34 with 16:57 left in the game.

Then the drought hit.

Over the next 7:33 -- which included 13 Lindsey Wilson possessions -- the Blue Raiders missed six field goals, a front end of the bonus and committed six turnovers.

At the end of the run, Georgetown led 52-39.

The Blue Raiders cut the Tiger lead to eight (52-44) with five straight points, but Georgetown regained momentum and pushed the lead to 60-46 at the 5:01 mark.

In addition to ending Lindsey Wilson's season, the loss also ends the Blue Raiders' four-year streak of NAIA National Tournament appearances.
