The Thunder men's basketball team traveled to Hays, Kansas to take on the Fort Hays State University Tigers in an exhibition on Saturday afternoon. The Thunder would find themselves down by as much as 11 halfway through the first half, before cutting it back to five three different times before the half. After 20 minutes, the Thunder would be down 46-35. The Thunder would cut it to 10 with 18:06 left, before an 8-0 run by the Tigers would push the lead to 18. At the 10:35 mark, the Thunder would get it down to a 65-48 Tiger advantage, but the Tigers would be too much and the Thunder would fall 95-62.

Sophomore, Davis Rokey would pace the Thunder with 19 points on 6-13 shooting, while going 6-6 from the free throw line. Senior, Micah Lovett would chip in with 11 points and four assists, while junior, Xavier Lucas would have a near double-double with 10 points and nine rebounds. The Thunder would shoot 33.9% from the field, 27.3% from the three-point line, and 76.2% from the free throw line.

The Thunder will start Midwest Christian College Conference play next week when they host the Emmaus University Eagles on Friday, December 6th at 7:00 PM.
