upcoming basketball season in an exhibition game against the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma.

&#xd;
The Bulldogs will conclude their exhibition season Friday against Avilla University in a game that will be played on the campus of Rogers State University in Claremore, Okla.

&#xd;
The Bulldogs ended the game shooting 42% making 27-of-64 field goal attempts. SWOSU was seven-of-17 from three-point distance for 42%. Both figures were a considerable improvement from SWOSU opening outing of 35% and 23% in an earlier exhibition against Oklahoma City University. USAO shot like percentages make 44% of their attempts from the field and 30% from three-point distance.&#xd;
&#xd;
SWOSU found itself behind 13-2 at the outset but regrouped and had the deficit trimmed to 39-37 at halftime. SWOSU drew even and pulled in front early in the second half before holding off USAO down the stretch for the win.&#xd;
