Balanced attack leads LWC Men's Basketball to 110-49 win

By Chris Wells

Six Blue Raiders scored in double figures to help Lindsey Wilson men's basketball to a 110-49 win over Boyce (KY) tonight at Biggers Sports Center.

Lindsey Wilson returns to action at 1pmCT on Saturday, Dec. 8, 2018, as the Blue Raiders host Carver (GA) at Biggers Sports Center, 360 Spickard Drive, Columbia, KY.


Lindsey Wilson (6-4) connected on 38 of its 70 shots in the game to shoot 54.3 percent from the field -- the fourth time the Blue Raiders have shot over 50 percent in a game. The Lindsey Wilson defense also turned in a banner night, forcing 29 turnovers with a season-high 18 steals. The Blue Raiders scored 30 points off the Boyce (0-8) miscues.

The Bulldogs managed to hang around in the first 10 minutes of the game, trailing 21-17 at the midway point of the first half. With just over five minutes left in the half, the Bulldogs trailed by nine (33-24) when a late-half Lindsey Wilson surge all but ended the game at the break.

The Blue Raiders closed the opening half on a 21-5 to take a 54-29 lead into the locker room. Lindsey Wilson has never trailed at the half this season.

JR Adams and Kel Stotts each scored 13 points in the first half to lead the Blue Raiders.

Lindsey Wilson carried the momentum into the second half, extending its lead to 44 points at the first media timeout ultimately winning by 61 points.

A trio of Blue Raiders posted Lindsey Wilson career highs in the game. Shakaris Laney scored 19 points, Adams tallied 18 and Ethan Hennis chipped in 10 points -- all off the Lindsey Wilson bench. The trio helped the Blue Raiders outscore the Bulldogs' reserves 53-19.

Stotts led the Blue Raiders with 21 points while Payton Cundiff scored 15 and Fredens Deneus posted 10 points.

In addition to their solid night from the field, the Blue Raiders were perfect from the free throw line during the game -- hitting all 19 of their attempts.

Boyce's Bailey Benham led the Bulldogs with 13 points.
