OAKLAND CITY — Poor shooting cost IU Southeast a chance for a win in its regular-season finale. The Grenadiers made just 22 of their 60 field goal attempts in a 55-53 home loss to Oakland City on Saturday.

IU Southeast (14-16, 11-7 RSC) led 30-26 at halftime but scored just 23 points in the second half.

Sophomore guard Ahmad Price (Louisville/Valley) added 12 points, six rebounds, two steals, two blocks and an assist in the loss. The Mighty Oaks (13-17, 10-8) were led by junior guard D.J. Redding (Evansville/North), who had 12 points and nine rebounds.

IU Southeast will participate in the RSC Tournament beginning Wednesday. The tourney schedule has not yet been released.
