WONDER BOYS FALL AT OKLAHOMA BAPTIST

SHAWNEE, Okla. – Tony Hall scored 20 points, RJ Glasper dished out eight assists and Devante Foster grabbed seven rebounds, but the Arkansas Tech Wonder Boys basketball team (x-x) was unable to overcome the sharp shooting and stingy defense of Oklahoma Baptist (x-x), falling 75-61 to the Bison on Saturday.
