SPRING ARBOR, Mich. – The Spring Arbor University men’s basketball team wrapped up its 2015-16 home slate with a thrilling 88-84 overtime win over Huntington University on Tuesday night behind a 31-point performance from junior Caleb Hogans.   Spring Arbor trailed by two late in the second half, but Hogans hit a contested, driving lay-up with six seconds remaining to force overtime. In the extra period, the Cougars, again, found themselves down with less than a minute on the clock when Hogans knocked down a jumper to put SAU in front for good.   It was the second straight 30-point effort for Hogans after dropping a career-high 32 in the win over Marian University on Saturday. The Farmington Hills, Michigan native finished 10-for-22 from the field and was a perfect 10-for-10 from the free throw line while also adding seven rebounds and three steals.   Freshman Anthony Qasawa registered his first career double-double with 20 points and a season-best 11 rebounds. Sophomore Zach Medendorp netted 11 points and seven boards to go along with five blocks.   After a back and forth start to the contest, Huntington (13-16, 7-10 CL) pulled ahead midway through the opening half and would maintain…

A search for consistency

Mulnix feels Western boys basketball can be a force when playing at its best   By Mike Moore Staff Writer   Parma – He’s got a team with a 7-6 record, and asked about that, Ryan Mulnix was as frank as he is intense on the Western boys basketball sideline each and every time a game begins.   “I don’t know if 7-6 is particularly a bad thing,” Mulnix said. “We don’t get a night off in this conference, which I don’t think is true in other conferences.”   Still, a 7-6 record also suggests a bit of up-and-down play, which Mulnix said has certainly been the case.   “We haven’t had a three-game win streak all year,” he said with a laugh. “We played two of our best games recently, and then didn’t show up in a loss the following Monday. That’s just how it’s gone.”   So success, especially in the long term, comes down to finding that consistency.   “It really comes down to having a consistent effort, or to play well consistently is maybe a better way to say it,” Mulnix said. “We’ve been doing a good job rebounding and playing defense, and we’ve shot better…
