COLUMBIA, Ky. – Lindsey Wilson looked to steal a Mid-South Conference game from No. 11 Georgetown (Ky.), but came up short in a 91-87 loss at Biggers Sports Center on Sunday.

Tony Horne scored 22 points and Daronte' Clark added 20 to pace the Blue Raiders (12-9, 3-6 MSC). Tyrie Orosco came off the bench to score 12 points and grab six rebounds while D'on Hall chipped in 11 points.

Both teams battled for most of the first half, with seven lead changes and seven ties. After a Noah Cottrill field goal tied the score at 29-29 at the 4:42 mark, the Blue Raiders went on a 10-6 run to go up 39-35 with 1:35 left in the half. Georgetown used a 4-0 run to tie the game with 33 seconds remaining, but Horne would sink a three-pointer with five seconds on the clock to give Lindsey Wilson a 42-39 lead at the break.

Horne scored 13 of his 22 points in the opening half, while three Blue Raiders had three rebounds apiece. Georgetown made 12-of-15 free throws compared to just 5-of-8 for Lindsey Wilson.

With the Tigers leading 87-86, Georgetown's Montavious Marc hit a shot with 11 seconds remaining to take a three-point lead.
