The Southern Oregon men used a big second half, but it was enough as they fell to College of Idaho 87-78 tonight in Caldwell, Idaho

College of Idaho improved to 6-5 overall and 2-2 in Cascade Conference play. Southern Oregon dropped to 8-5 overall and 0-4 in conference action.

Craig McGree came off the bench for 24 points to lead the Coyotes.

Jarrad Childs (Paso Robles, Calif./Paso Robles) scored over 20 points for the second straight game for the Raiders, finishing with a team-high 26 points. Joe White (Springfield, Ore./Thurston) and Humphrey Jackson (Redwood City, Calif./Woodside) both had 11 points for the Raiders and Jackson finished with seven assists.
