PORTLAND, ORE. -- Lewis & Clark College men's basketball trimmed a nine-point deficit in the final four minutes to pull within one, but Warner Pacific stopped a last-second three-point attempt to secure a 73-72 win on Tuesday night at Pamplin Sports Center.
 
THE BASICS
 
Warner Pacific 73, Lewis & Clark 72
Lewis & Clark (1-2, 0-0 NWC)
Warner Pacific (3-3, 0-0 CCC)
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
 
Seniors Justin White (19 points, 10 rebounds) and Andre Treadwell (13 points, 11 rebounds) became the second Lewis & Clark pair to post double-doubles in the same game since 2011 and the first since Jack Henderson and Jayden Simpson on Feb. 4, 2022, against Puget Sound. White earned his first career double-double and added four steals and three assists. Treadwell collected his third career double-double and first of the season and added a late block.
 
Taien Jackson and sophomore Jake Rodriguez joined them in double figures with 12 and 10 points. Jackson pulled down six rebounds and the senior led the team with four assists. Rodriguez went 3-for-3 from the field and 3-for-3 at the line and added two assists and two steals.
 
Senior Kody Uyesugi finished with nine points and two assists, and junior Yigit Arcan scored seven points with two blocks and two steals in his Lewis & Clark debut.
 
Lewis & Clark used early runs of eight and six points in the opening seven minutes to erase a three-point deficit and build a seven-point lead. Treadwell scored nine points during that stretch, including a driving layup off a pass from Uyesugi at the 13:14 mark for an 18-11 advantage. Warner Pacific answered to pull within two and later reclaimed the lead with just over five minutes left in the half at 34-32. Despite nine first-half threes, including four from Josh Lincoln (17 points), the Knights led only 43-39 at the break.
 
The margin stayed within two possessions for most of the second half. White scored the first Lewis & Clark points of the period and cut the deficit to 50-48 on an and-1. Rodriguez tied the game at 60 with a traditional three-point play at 9:41.
 
Warner Pacific responded with an 11-2 run to take the largest lead of the night for either team at 71-62 with just over four minutes remaining. Sophomore Marcus Bast found Jackson for a layup to start an 8-0 Lewis & Clark run that ended with an Arcan three off a Rodriguez assist at 1:43, making it 71-70.
 
Terrin Dickey scored a layup on the next possession to build the lead back to three. Treadwell blocked a Warner Pacific attempt, then scored in transition with 15 seconds left to cut it to 73-72. Dickey missed the front end of a one-and-one with six seconds on the clock, giving Lewis & Clark a final possession. Arcan's corner three missed long as the Knights closed out the win.
