DePauw, IN- The Oberlin men's basketball team travelled to DePauw on over the weekend to take on the Tigers in a road matchup. Down at the half, the Yeomen were unable to make a comeback and fell short 63-52 to DePauw. The road loss gives Oberlin an overall record of 4-5 and 2-2 in the NCAC. 
 
The game got off to a slow start as each team went point-for-point over the opening five minutes. Tied at 8-8, the Tigers broke into the double-digit threshold off a three-pointer just before Wolf Moser and Darien Knowles made back-to-back layups overtaking the lead. As DePauw retook the lead over the next five minutes, the Yeomen battled back and Dorde Otasevic nailed a shot from behind the arc to give Oberlin a one-point advantage at the 6:58 mark. With another pair of three-pointers, Moser opened an even larger lead for the visiting squad. In the final minutes of the half, the Tigers dominated and held the Yeomen scoreless to take a 32-30 advantage at halftime.
 
In the opening seconds of the second half, Dimitrije Radusinovic got the Yeomen back on top with a field goald from behind the arc. Responding with a three of their own, the Tigers matched the Yeomen to tie the score at 37-37. DePawu rallied for an 13-3 run until Knowles hit a three to end the damage with 9:16 remaining in the game. A trio of layups brought Oberlin within three of the Tigers, but they were unable to convert anymore shots, succumbing to DePauw 63-52.
 
In the loss, three Yeomen scored in double digits, led by Otasevic with 14 points, seven rebounds, and four blocks. Radusinovic and Moser scored 12 and ten points each, respectively.
