Oberlin, Ohio – Sophomore Andrew Fox recorded his eighth-career double-double and third of the season, but it wasn't enough as the Oberlin College men's basketball team fell to the visiting Wittenberg University Tigers 75-47 on Senior Day for the Yeomen.

Fox was the lone Yeoman in double-figures as he finished with a game-high 16 points to go along with 12 rebounds. Pat Bernhard, one of two seniors to be honored before the game, cashed in three triple-hits for nine points. Fellow senior James Tompsett got the starting nod and ripped down six rebounds and added four points.

Oberlin trailed 20-13 with at the 8:36 mark of the opening half, but the Tigers would close out the frame with a fury – using a 27-7 run to lead 47-20 at the break.
