McCloud's strong finish as Green Bay edges Cleveland St.
CLEVELAND -- JayQuan McCloud scored 31 points and came up big in the final minute, converting a three-point play and later adding two free throws as Green Bay fended off a late Cleveland State surge 78-74 Thursday night.
Green Bay (10-11, 5-3 Horizon League) led by 12 with a little over three minutes to go before Cleveland State (7-14, 3-5) took advantage of four Phoenix fouls, converting three straight three-point plays, and whacked the lead to 71-70 with 1:08 remaining.
McCloud drove for a layup and was fouled, making the three-point play for a 74-70 lead and, with 10 seconds, answered a Vikings drive by sinking both ends of a one-and-one for the final score.
McCloud scored 19 after halftime on 6-for-7 shooting, 5-for-5 at the line. Cody Schwartz had 13 points for Green Bay while Trevian Bell added 12.
Craig Beaudion scored a season-high 26 points for the Vikings, who have now lost four games in a row. Torrey Patton added 12 points. Algevon Eichelberger had 10 points.
