Box Score Hitting nearly half their 3-point shots couldn't pull the Scots out of a first half hole in a 92-78 loss to Cornell.
Monmouth came back from an 18-point first half deficit, hitting on all cylinders coming out of the locker room to start the second half. Mike DeDecker scored six of his team-high 27 points in the first two minutes of the second session, converting an old-fashioned three and then hitting a shot from beyond the arc as Monmouth pulled within single digits at 48-40.
The Rams then countered, regaining a double-digit lead with a pair of free throws and a trey as 50 fouls were called in the game.
Wes DeClerqc added 15 points, making 4-of-6 3-pointers and Wes Dukeman chipped in with 10.
