ST. LOUIS, Mo. - The William Jewell men's basketball team got off a shot at the buzzer but it fell short as Maryville University escaped with a 61-59 win on Thursday evening. The Cardinals drop to 10-6 on the season and 4-4 in the GLVC with the loss. 

HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Cardinals fell into an early hole as a three by Maryville gave the hosts a 17-10 lead. Kyle Scharbrough scored four quick points to stop the skid and Isaac Patterson's three capped a 10-3 run for Jewell. 
• Maryville followed the Cardinals run with one of their own to go back in front by eight but Jewell again rallied to tie the game at 29 with back-to-back buckets from Eli Wingert. The Saints took a 33-29 lead into the break with two scores in the last 59 seconds of the half.
