FORT WAYNE, Ind. - The Purdue Fort Wayne men's basketball team dropped a non-league matchup to Western Michigan on Thursday night (Nov. 12) at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum 81-59.
The loss snapped a 29-game winning streak against regular season non-league foes that dated back to 2019.
After trailing 33-25 in the late moments of the first half, the Mastodons strung together a 9-2 push that extended into the second half that brought the 'Dons back within one. From there, however, Western Michigan had a 10-0 spurt in just 95 seconds to spell the Mastodon run.
Western Michigan had five players in double-figures, while the Mastodons had two: Anthony Isaac Jr. (11) and Carl Thompson III (11). DeAndre Craig Jr. had seven points and five rebounds.
WMU shot 52.6 percent from the floor with a 40.7 mark from 3-point range. The Mastodons forced 15 turnovers while only committing 12, which resulted in eight fast break points and eight off turnovers. WMU took advantage of the 'Dons' 12 turnovers with 17 points off those miscues.
Purdue Fort Wayne fell to 1-2 with the loss and Western Michigan improved to 3-1. The Mastodons will hit the road this weekend for a game at Eastern Illinois on Sunday (Nov. 15).
