The effort wasn t enough however, in foul trouble and forced to play soft defensively, the Railsplitters were eventually handed a 92-77 loss, ending their run at the final spot out of the Eastern Division for the Gulf South Conference Tournament. Leading the way for the Railsplitters was junior Craig Zeigler who had 18 points. Other players in double figures for LMU were DeAngelo Johnson with 13, Mike Comparato with 12, and Mark Padgett with 12. LMU will now return home and prepare to host the University of Alabama-Huntsville in the final game of the season. The game against UAH will take place this coming Saturday in the Turner Arena and will also be recognized as Senior Night and Fan Appreciation Night on the LMU campus.
