LA GRANDE – Big stat lines from Bryce Dyer and Gio Evanson weren't enough for the Southern Oregon men's basketball team in a 70-63 loss to first-place Eastern Oregon on Friday night at Quinn Coliseum.

Dyer registered his fourth double-double with 15 points and 12 rebounds, hitting 3-of-4 attempts from 3-point range, and Evanson was three points off a season-high with 27. The pair combined to go 15-of-26 from the field as their teammates went 8-of-29.

The Raiders (16-11 overall, 13-6 Cascade Conference) had 38-32 lead after Joe Juhala's fastbreak dunk with 18 minutes remaining before the Mountaineers (20-7, 15-4) responded with an 11-0 run.

Evanson's three-point play with 8:53 to go gave SOU its last lead at 54-53. EOU wing Eamon Monahan scored 10 of his 21 points the rest of the way, and the Mountaineers put SOU away by hitting 18-of-21 free-throw attempts in the second half after being kept off the line in the first.

James Bodily scored 16 points and Keilan Torkornoo had 13 with four rebounds for EOU, which swept the regular-season series between the teams for the first time in seven years.

EOU and Lewis-Clark State (Idaho) enter the final day of the regular season tied for first. The Mountaineers host Oregon Tech and the Warriors are home against Bushnell.

The Raiders' regular season comes down to this: they visit College of Idaho (19-8, 14-5) at 4 p.m. PT Saturday, and a win would put them at home in Wednesday's CCC Tournament quarterfinals as the No. 3 or 4 seed against either Bushnell, C of I or Oregon Tech. Lose, and they'll be on the road as the No. 5 seed.
