COLUMBIA, Ky -- Union's Turrell Morris scored a game-high 27 points, but it wasn't enough, as Lindsey Wilson used a second half rally to knock off the Bulldogs, 81-73 on Thursday evening.

With the loss, the Bulldogs fell to 6-8 overall on the year, while Lindsey Wilson improved to 11-3 overall with the victory.

In the first half, Union controlled the pace, holding a 36-32 lead going into the locker room.

It was more of the same when the second half began, as the Bulldogs opened up a 46-37 lead off a Morris (Columbus, Ohio) jumper at the 15 minute mark. The Bulldogs extended the lead to 47-37 after James Strange (Pineville, Ky.) knocked down one of two free throws moments later.

It was at this point that Lindsey Wilson began to mount their comeback, as they went on a 17-6 run over the next five minutes to take a 54-53 lead. Union got the lead back with nine minutes left when Cody Miller (Barbourville, Ky.) drained a three to make it 56-54 in favor of the Bulldogs. Union continued to hold the lead until the six minute mark, but the Blue Raiders took the lead back at 59-58.

From here, Lindsey Wilson went on a decisive 9-0 run to take a 68-58 lead with three minutes remaining. The deficit was too much for the Bulldogs to come back from, as the closest they got to the lead the rest of the night was at 73-68 with under a minute left.
