HUNTINGTON — Despite 20 points from junior Austin Loop, and 17 points each for James Kelly and Stevie Browning, the Thundering Herd fell to Grand Canyon University in the championship game of the Global Sports Classic at Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas on Tuesday night.
The Herd (5-8) had both junior Ryan Taylor and sophomore Jon Elmore foul out for the second consecutive night, and were outshot on the free throw line big in the contest. GCU (11-2) hit 21-of-30 at the line to just 7-of-10 for the Thundering Herd.
