GLENDALE, Ariz. – Oklahoma City University's rally fell short in an 81-74 setback to The Master's (Calif.) on Thursday at the Arizona Christian Events Center. 

Dravon Clayborn paced five OCU double-figure scorers with 17 points. The Stars (0-1) continue their road swing 4 p.m. CDT (2 p.m. MST) Friday against Ottawa (Ariz.) in the Arizona Christian Fultz Tournament in Glendale, Ariz. 

Clayborn, a senior from Evanston, Ill., picked up five assists and two steals. Avery Jackson, a freshman from Frisco, Texas, provided Oklahoma City with 14 points, six rebounds, four assists and two thefts.

The Master's built an 11-point advantage late in the game, but the Stars rallied to tie the game with 1:26 left. Brandon Jackson sank free throws to knot the score 73-73 to cap an 11-0 OCU spree. Jackson assisted on Guest's trey that sparked the Stars' run.
