After blowing an 18-point lead against Bellevue last season, the Mustangs’ men’s basketball team may have felt like they owed the Bruins one.
Morningside got that revenge on Friday when it opened the men’s basketball season with a come-from-behind 89-85 triumph over the 12th-ranked Bruins at the Doane College Tiger Classic in Crete, Neb.
The Mustangs trailed by 16 points at one point in the first half and still found themselves down by 11 points, 69-58, going into the last 10 minutes of the game.
