Despite a double-double from senior forward CooXooEii Black, the Colorado College men's basketball dropped a 73-67 result at Lewis & Clark College on Saturday night to close out its two-game road trip to the Pacific Northwest.

Black finished with 13 points and 12 rebounds for the Tigers, who played back-to-back games for the first time this season.

Sophomore forward Isaac Zachem also scored 13 points, which matched his career high first set last year against Centenary College on Jan. 4.

CC trailed by six points a little more than seven minutes into the game, but rallied to build a 34-27 lead after Eric Jonas hit a jumper with 27 seconds remaining in the first half.

Sophomore guard Scott Cunningham gave the Tigers a 57-55 lead when he knocked down a jumper with 6:32 to go, however Christian Pitcher splashed one of his four three-pointer 29 seconds later to put L&C ahead to stay.

Colorado College was within two points when sophomore guard Jack McRoskey scored with 2:24 to play, but the Pioneers scored the final five points of the game at the free throw line to secure the victory.

The Tigers dropped to 0-2, while Lewis & Clark won its season opener.
