at UW-Superior 54 UW-La Crosse 52 The Eagles played poorly in their final game of the season against an equally unimpressive Superior team. Before the game, seniors Wes Warren and Scott Prusko were given their uniforms as part of the Senior Day Festivities. It was Prusko's only appearance on the floor all day. Wes might've been better off if he had stayed next to Scott during the first half. Warren bobbed, weaved, and slashed his way to an 0-8 shooting performance. The shots he took were good shots, they just didn't go in. La Crosse took the lead with 9:00 left in the first half, and held on to it until Lance Nelson nailed a 3 pointer at the first half buzzer. It gave Superior a 26-25 lead at the break, and they wouldn't trail the rest of the way. Superior jumped out to a 39-30 lead with 13:08 left, and they managed to hang on the rest of the way. La Crosse was able to tie it three times in the closing four minutes, but never got the lead. Down two with the ball, La Crosse worked it down to a double-teamed Melvin Veasley in the low block, but his shot with 6 seconds left was off the mark and Superior was able to hold on in the closing seconds. With the loss, the Eagles tied Superior for 8th place in the WSUC and finished 10-14 overall. It is a 2 1/2 game improvement over last season 8-17 mark, but after a 7-2 start, expectations were a little higher than in years past.
