Perry played a much crisper game offensively Friday night against Nevada but couldn’t keep up with the high scoring Cubs falling 81-74.  The game was tied at halftime at 36 but Nevada came out and started the second half on a 10-2 run and never gave up the lead.  The Cubs shot a scorching 51% from the floor and 37% from 3-point land hitting 11-29 3-point field goals.  John Nelson led the way with 19 points.  Drake Levan was solid for Perry finishing with a game high 23 points including 9-9 from the free throw line.  Zander Mahler finished with 18 points and Owen Myers added 15.  Perry closed the night 21-26 from the foul line.

Perry falls to 1-2 on the season.
