BALDWIN CITY, Kan. - The Baker men's basketball team fell behind early and could not recover as the Wildcats' five-game winning streak came to a halt with a 42-78 loss to Evangel University on Tuesday evening at the Collins Center.

Baker shot just 28 percent from the floor and didn't score its first bucket until the 16-minute mark.
