SILOAM SPRINGS, AR - Texas Wesleyan Men's Basketball (5-2, 0-1 SAC) was unable to end John Brown's (8-0, 2-0 SAC) unbeaten season Saturday afternoon in Arkansas, falling to the Golden Eagles 95-91.

JBU is the first team to score over 80 points against the Rams' defense this season and hit 16 out of 34 threes against TXWES, which ranked No. 1 in the nation coming into the matchup in three-point percentage defense (20.9 percent).

The Rams led 58-57 with 14:13 to go in the second half but gave up 16 of the next 19 points in the next 4:25 of action. The Golden Eagles led 91-80 with 2:21 left before Texas Wesleyan scored eight in a row capped by Joe Cook-Green's jumper with 16 seconds on the clock. John Brown hit all four of its free throws down the stretch to keep the Rams separated by one score too many to overcome. Both teams were solid from the line all night, combining to hit 40-of-49 free throws (JBU 19-24, TXWES 21-25).

Sam Lorenzen hit five of the Rams' 10 treys for a team-leading 24 points; all five hits from downtown came in the second half. Davon Berry dished a season-high seven assists to go along with his 16 points. Akeem White, Peyton Sallee and LaMont Simmons all contributed 11 points, Sallee and Simmons doing so off the bench. 

TXWES hit 50.8 percent of its shots, while the Golden Eagles poured 56.6 percent of its opportunities into the net. The Rams owned the paint, outscoring JBU 60-30 and at one point led by 17 points with 8:57 to play in the first half thanks to a 13-0 run led by White. 

John Brown and Mid-America Christian are the only SAC teams still undefeated after the weekend results, two of 14 programs left without a loss in the NAIA. Conference matchups will be sprinkled throughout December, including TXWES' tilt with Southwestern Assemblies of God December 3, but won't pick back up consistently until after the turn of the calendar to 2020.

Texas Wesleyan will host Arlington Baptist Tuesday night at 5 p.m. before Thanksgiving break.
