WILMORE, Ky. — Asbury Men's Basketball traveled to Harrodsburg, KY on Wednesday night to take on Campbellsville University Harrodsburg. AU came into this matchup looking to win their sixth out of their last eight, as they have been playing very solid basketball as of late. The Eagles met a CU-Harrodsburg team that was ready to play from the jump and would lead the Eagles 44-38 at the half. 

AU would battle back in the 2nd half to eventually take a 66-60 lead over CU-Harrodsburg with 10 minutes to go in the game. This lead was built by a strong 7-0 Asbury run that included 5 points from Junior Eric Powell.

CU-Harrodsburg would recover from this AU run and eventually regain the lead to not give it back. A late 7-0 run from CU-Harrodsburg would be enough to allow them to hold onto the victory in this back and forth fight, 94-86.
