The Ranger men took down heated rivals Southwestern Oklahoma State University in double-overtime.

With a final score of 98-96, the Rangers came away with the nailbiting win.

The entire game was a back and forth battle. The Bulldogs had a one point lead in the second overtime when freshman Cole Jones hit the game winning three.

Jack Peck was a force for the Rangers, collecting 26 points.

Returning home to face Southeastern Oklahoma State, the Rangers fell 79-72.

Four Rangers ended the night with double figures: Peck with 15, A.J. Jones with 14, David Thorton with 11 and Bryshon Bryant with 10.

The men look to bounce back as they face Ouachita Baptist Feb. 21 on the home court.
