SEARCY, Ark. – The University of Arkansas at Monticello Men's basketball team came up on the wrong end of a 60-49 decision as they traveled to Searcy, AR for Thursday's, Great American Conference match-up with Harding University.

UAM (10-17) had one players score in double figures. That being Jabari Sweet with a total of 12.

The Bisons were the first to score, putting in a three to get the game rolling. Ray Price was the first to score for the Weevils, putting in a layup.
