The Chico State men’s basketball team lost another tough game Thursday night against the Cal Poly Pomona Broncos by a final score of 67-64.

The ‘Cats shot 42.31% from the field the first half, while the Broncos shot 50%. But Chico State found itself only trailing by two points at halftime, 29-31.

The second half was much of the same. Chico State shot 40% from the field and were 1-12 from the 3-point line. The ‘Cats were a combined 4-23 beyond the arc.

Once again, it was a close game toward the end. Chico State’s Sean Park had 16 of his team-high 24 points in the second half. And with 2:07 left, Park tied the game up at 62-all with his 3-point play.

Amir Carraway shot a 3-pointer at the buzzer, but it wasn’t enough as Chico State would suffer its second loss in a row. This is the ‘Cats first losing streak of the season.

Chico State falls to 11-4 overall and 7-4 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association. The ‘Cats will attempt to get back in the win column as they face Humboldt State on the road Jan. 25.
