LWC Mens Basketball beats No. 2 in Nation Mountain State Blue Raiders Beat Mountain State 83-69 with strong second half By Chris Wells, LWC Director of Sports Information COLUMBIA, Ky. -- It was a tale of two halves as the Lindsey Wilson College mens basketball team beat visiting Mountain State (WV.) University 83-69 on Tuesday, February 10, 2009, at Biggers Sports Center. After committing 18 turnovers and trailing 37-32 at the break, the No. 17-ranked Blue Raiders (19-4) committed just five turnovers and out-scored the No. 2-ranked Cougars (20-3) 51-32 in the second half en route to the win. Trailing 60-59 with 7:04 left in the game, Lindsey Wilson scored 11 of the games next 13 points to grab a 70-62 lead. The Cougars managed to cut the Blue Raider lead to four (71-67) with 1:42 left, but thats as close as it would get for the highest scoring team in the NAIA. Mountain State entered the game averaging 97.8 points per game, but managed just 32 second-half points and just 42.9 percent (27-of-63) from the field against the Blue Raiders stifling defense. Lindsey Wilson closed the game with a 12-2 run -- all from the free throw line -- to win 83-69. The Blue Raiders -- who enter the game shooting 64 percent from the line on the season -- made 12 of 14 freebies in the final 90 seconds to secure the upset win. The Blue Raiders finished the night making 83.3 percent (25-of-30) from the charity stripe compared to Mountain States 59.1 percent (13-of-22) Lindsey Wilson also controlled the glass, out-rebounding the visitors 45-30. Four Blue Raiders finished with double figures led by junior reserve Ismar Netos 15 points. Junior guard Eric McPherson added 12 points and seniors Quintez Thomas and Sam Walton chipped in 10 each. Mountain State junior Andrew Lee led the Cougars with 16 points and junior Nick Aldridge added 14. Lindsey Wilson Men's Basketball returns to action at 4:00pmCT on Saturday, February 14, 2009, as the Blue Raiders host University of the Cumberlands at Biggers Sports Center.
