LWC Basketball Men fall to Georgetown 87-63 Next Lindsey Wilson Men's Basketball hosts Shawnee State (Ohio) at Biggers Sports Center, 360 Spickard Drive, Columbia, KY at 4pmCT, Sat 13 Feb 2016 By Charles Balcom News from Lindsey Wilson College COLUMBIA, KY - The Lindsey Wilson men's basketball team was unable to cool the hot shooting of No. 2 Georgetown (KY) as the Tigers took an 87-63 win on Thursday night, February 12, at Biggers Sports Center. Georgetown (22-3, 10-3 Mid-South Conference) shot a blazing 62.7 percent from the floor including a 63.2 percentage from three-point range to avenge the earlier loss the Blue Raiders (15-9, 5-6 MSC) handed them on January 16, 2016. Lindsey Wilson was dominated on the boards as Georgetown outrebounded them 34-20, limiting the Blue Raiders to just three offensive rebounds on the night. Lindsey Wilson did make a late run in the second half, but the Tigers were able to withstand that run and pull away over the final minutes for the win. Both teams started the game off and running, but when the Blue Raider offense stalled, the Tigers took advantage. Lindsey Wilson led 7-5, but a pair of misses and a turnover aided in an 11-0 run for Georgetown, nine of which came from the sharpshooting of Noah Cottrill who made three shots from deep during the stretch to put the Tigers ahead 16-7 with 14:39 to play in the opening half. From there the two teams traded baskets until Georgetown extended their lead to double digits at 26-15 after a basket by Jordan Green at the 9:10 mark. Lindsey Wilson continued to play catch-up for the remainder of the half as Georgetown opened up their largest lead of the period at 40-23 with 2:26 to go. By the halftime whistle, the Tigers led 45-29. While the Blue Raiders managed to hit 40.7 percent from the floor in the opening half, Georgetown shot the lights out with a 65.5 percentage, making 19-of-29 shots including a 5-of-10 mark from three-point range. Lindsey Wilson was dominated on the boards 20-9 and managed just two offensive rebounds in the opening 20 minutes as the Tigers scored 28 of their points in the paint. Despite things trending in the wrong direction in the first half, the Blue Raiders never gave up and continued to scrap and battle their way back into the game in the second half. Lindsey Wilson slowly but surely started to trim the Georgetown lead, using a combination of stout defensive possessions and shots from beyond the arc. Trailing 56-43, Charles Sutton stole a pass and made the ensuing layup to trim the lead to 56-45. Sutton then stole the ball again on the next possession and dished it to Ja'Ln Williams who buried the corner three and cut the game to single digits at 56-48, forcing a Tiger timeout with 12:37 to go. It marked the first time since the 9:10 mark of the first half that the lead was down to single digits. Georgetown responded with a basket, but Dmitry Utolin answered with a three to trim the lead down to seven at 58-51. But from there the high-flying Georgetown offense found a rhythm again and the Tigers doubled up the Blue Raiders over the next five minutes, outscoring Lindsey Wilson 16-8 to take a 74-59 lead at the 5:37 mark. Lindsey Wilson committed three turnovers during the run as Georgetown refused to give up any easy baskets and made four shots from three-point range during the eight-point swing. The Blue Raiders gave their best efforts during that second-half surge, but the Tigers withstood that shot and were able to come away with the 87-63 win. Sutton finished with a team-high 19 points in the loss. Williams was the lone other Blue Raider to reach double figures at 13. Lindsey Wilson shot 49.0 percent from the floor, but the Tigers continued their hot shooting in the second half, finishing at 62.7 percent from the game, including hitting 63.2 percent from three-point range. Cottrill finished as the top Tiger scorer with 22 points, followed by Tony Kimbro with 21. This story was posted on 2016-02-12 06:28:05
