Michigan Tech men's basketball fell 85-65 to Kentucky Wesleyan College Monday (Dec. 19) at Owensboro Sportscenter.

Tech fell to 4-9 overall as the team continued its road struggles (0-6). The Huskies were out-rebounded by the Panthers 47-32 and trailed from the 13-minute mark of the first half.

"We weren't very good today," said head coach Josh Buettner. "Our level of physicality and competitiveness wasn't good enough for Michigan Tech basketball standards. We have a great group of guys and we will come back after the break and get to work. We will be better."
