Wilson’s strong first half helped the Titans to a 43-38 lead at halftime. Deep into the second half, Tartan built its largest lead, 14.
But, a comeback by Lukas and Matthew Foss helped the Raiders draw within single digits. The pair combined for 37 points in the loss.
Kyan Esterby’s three-pointer tied the game at 71 with under a minute to play. Banks who had been knocking down threes all game stepped inside the arc and drained a floater with 2.2 seconds to go.
Matthew Foss’s final fling of the ball came up short and the Titans held on to their 13th consecutive victory to open the 2024-25 season.
Tartan has not been 13-0 to start a season in over 15 years. The Titans will head to Eagan to test themselves and their record on Tuesday night.
