TURLOCK, Calif. – Despite tying the game late in regulation to send it into overtime, the Cal Poly Pomona men's basketball team suffered an 80-68 road loss to Stanislaus State.
 
The result drops the Broncos to 20-6 overall and 13-6 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) while the Warriors improve to 7-16 overall and 6-12 in league action.
 
With one regular season game remaining at Homecoming on Feb. 27, CPP has already clinched a first-round game in the CCAA Tournament on March 1.
 
Three Broncos finished with double-digit point totals, including Jordan Ogundiran and Quentin Taylor with 15 apiece along with Daylan Lawrence adding 11 of his own. It marked the fourth-consecutive game that Ogundiran has scored in double figures.
 
Senior Jordan Faison finished with a season-high four blocks to go along with nine points, eight rebounds and two assists.

The first half began as Lawrence opened off the scoring with a three pointer. The home team answered back with a layup, then the Broncos posted four-straight points on a pair of Ogunidran free throws and a Taylor jumper.
 
Stanislaus answered back with seven points of their own, a figure they would repeat moments later after a couple of baskets from the Broncos.  From there, with an eight-point lead for the Warriors, the two squads began trading points until just before the conclusion of the first half. Just before the break, Jeremy Dennis and Taylor each posted a layup to bring the Green and Gold just four back. At the break, the score in Fitzpatrick Arena stood at Warriors 34, Broncos 30.
 
In the second half, the Bronco offense pushed back and took the lead. To open the half, the Warriors sank a three, but then eight-consecutive points from the Green and Gold, including six-straight from Ogundiran gave the Broncos their first lead since the opening minutes of the contest.
 
The Warriors recorded five straight to reclaim the lead, but then CPP, trailing two points, took off. Lawrence sank another three, Jordan Faison tallied a layup, Dennis was successful in his attempt from beyond the arc, Faison added another layup, and Scott Hastings gave the Broncos a seven-point advantage with a layup of his own.
 
In a testament to the CCAA, the Warriors didn't quit there. They proceeded to add ten-straight points of their own to regain the lead by three. The two squads began trading points and for the remainder of the game, the scores remained within 5 points of each other. To conclude regulation, the Green and Gold tied it up on a Taylor three and a Faison free throw. The scoreboard read 62-62.
 
A Warrior three opened up the overtime period and remained the only score through nearly three full minutes of play. Overtime saw the home team outscore the Broncos 18-6 to secure the contest's final score of 80-68. 

The Broncos will return to action on Saturday, Feb. 27 with the Homecoming game against Cal State San Marcos. Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m. at Kellogg Arena and the first 750 fans will receive a free Foam Fingers giveaway. To view the entire Homecoming schedule, go to cpp.edu/homecoming.
