Blue Raider basketball comeback falls short. Mon 5 Jan 2015 No. 8 Martin Methodist defeats Lindsey Wilson Men's Basketball 85-74. Blue Raiders unable to fully recover from slow start Click on headline for complete story. By Charlie Balcom News from Lindsey Wilson College COLUMBIA, KY – After trailing by as many as 25 points, the Lindsey Wilson men’s basketball team rallied to within six late in the game before eventually falling to No. 8 Martin Methodist (TN) on Monday night, 4 Jan 2015, at Biggers Sports Center, 360 Spickard Drive, Columbia, KY The Blue Raiders (9-8) found themselves down big early as Martin Methodist (13-1) opened the game on a 15-1 run over the first five and a half minutes. Lindsey Wilson started the game 0-for-9 from the floor, including going 0-for-7 from three-point range. The Blue Raiders made their first field-goal attempt at the 13:44 mark on a jump shot by Charles Sutton. The dry spell continued for Lindsey Wilson as the next made shot from the floor did not come until the 10:28 mark on a three pointer by Bryan Wallace to make it 19-8 in favor of the RedHawks. Lindsey Wilson tried to keep it close, cutting the lead to eight at 8:38, but Martin Methodist proceeded to close out the opening half with a 21-6 run taking a 42-19 lead into the break. Lindsey Wilson shot 24.1 percent from the field in the first half, including just 2-of-17 for 11.8 percent from beyond the arc. Martin Methodist connected on 14-of-34 shots from the floor for 41.2 percent going 4-of-9 from three-point range. In the second half, the Blue Raiders found some life going on a 10-4 run to open the frame and cut the lead to 46-29 with 16:21 left in the game. But Martin Methodist pushed the lead back up to as many as 21 in the second half at 61-40 with 12:13 to play. Then the Blue Raiders slowly began mounting their comeback. Three-straight baskets by Tony Horne helped Lindsey Wilson go on an 18-7 run, capped off by a steal and layup by Reco Lewis that made it 68-58 with just over four minutes to play. Back-to-back three pointers by Lewis and Wallace cut the lead to six at 72-66 with 1:46 to play, the closest the Blue Raiders had been since it was 3-0 at the 19:40 mark. Lindsey Wilson had a chance to cut it even closer, but a costly turnover allowed Martin Methodist to push the lead back to eight points before a pair of Wallace free throws dropped it down to six again. But the cold shooting bug reared its head again as a missed field goal and a pair of missed free throws allowed the RedHawks to score seven straight and build a 13-point lead with 36 seconds to play. From there, Martin Methodist connected on their free throws down the stretch to put the game out of reach, defeating Lindsey Wilson 85-74. Julian Edmonson racked up 17 points despite going just 4-of-15 from the field. Horne totaled 15 points and eight rebounds, Wallace added 14 points while Hall chipped in 11. Lindsey Wilson shot 38.8 percent from the floor and made just 5-of-28 attempts from three-point range for 17.9 percent. The Blue Raiders lost the rebounding battle 41-36 and were blocked eight times by the RedHawk defense. Martin Methodist finished 28-of-56 for 50 percent from the field, adding another 24 points on 24-of-29 from the charity stripe. Darius Forrest led the team with 19 points and nine rebounds while Josh Watson totaled 16 points and nine rebounds. This story was posted on 2015-01-06 03:59:11
