Despite top scorer Prescott, Orange bloods fall to Vandals, 136.6-117.3

Dak Prescott had 42 points for Orange bloods, the best total in the matchup and third-highest in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to topple Vandals, who emerged victorious with a 136.6-117.3 win. Vandals took an early 7.6-point lead on Thursday. Orange bloods came back to take the lead during the early round of games on Sunday, powered by Dak Prescott (42 points) and Le'Veon Bell (17.2). Not to be deterred, Vandals got it going later that afternoon, as the Oakland Raiders defense (13 points) and Hunter Renfrow (11.6) put them back in the lead for good. Vandals (7-4) will look to add to their success against Boomtown Brawlers, while Orange bloods (6-5) meet GreatPlainsDrifters in an effort to develop some positive momentum.
