Central Oklahoma Beats Rogers State 64-61 Saturday At Hamilton Field House

EDMOND – Central Oklahoma beat Rogers State 64-61 Saturday afternoon at Hamilton Field House to earn a season split in the meeting of in-state rivals.

UCO used an 11-2 run to end the first quarter ahead 16-11. Rogers got the game tied at halftime, 27-27. The Bronchos had to score the last five of the third quarter to get it to a one-point game, 45-44, heading to the final frame. Both teams made baskets to start the fourth before the big run.
