Ozarks won its first American Southwest Conference Championship in men's basketball Monday night by defeating Louisiana College 74-72 at Mabee Gymnasium.The Eagles (10-3) surived a last second shot attempt from the Wildcats (11-5), after senior guard Bryson Johnson (5'11''-PG) put UO in the finals with a three-pointer at the buzzer in Sunday's semifinal game against Hardin-Simmons. Ozarks took a 31-26 lead into halftime. The Eagles led by as much as nine early in the second half, but LC manage to tie the game at 50-50 with 8:40 to play. A lay-up by Zach Bobo (6'6''-G) gave Ozarks a 72-65 advantage with 25 seconds left. Wildcat senior guard Kae'Ron Baker (6'2''-G) made the game 74-72 with under two seconds left after making a free throw. His second attempt was rebounded by senior forward KJ Bilbo (6'4''-F), but his putback was off the mark as time ran out. The Eagles shot 42.6 percent (26-of-61) from the field and were 9-of-29 from three-point range and 13-of-19 at the line. They also had 37 rebounds, 19 assists, 16 steals, four blocks and 10 turnovers. The Wildcats shot 41.5 perent (27-of-65) overall, 9-of-27 from outside and were 9-of-13 at the stripe.
