Six Blue Raiders Reach Double Figures, LWC Coasts 91-65 Past Freed-Hardeman

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Six Blue Raiders scored double figures as the Lindsey Wilson College men's basketball team beat visiting Freed-Hardeman (Tenn.) University 91-65 on Saturday at Biggers Sports Center.

Lindsey Wilson junior Lloyd Lewis scored a game-high 15 points to lead the Blue Raiders to their 10th straight win. LWC junior guard Andrew Crooms came off the bench to add a career-high 10 points.
Lindsey Wilson used an 18-2 run over the final three minutes of the first half and the first four minutes of the second half to break open a close game. A hard-fought first half had produced two ties and four lead changes.

Blue Raider senior center Anthony Labka scored two of his 13 points with 15:38 left to close out the run and give Lindsey Wilson a 44-30 lead.

Freed-Hardeman reserve Kirtiss Brown's basket in the paint cut the Lindsey Wilson lead to nine with 13:19 left, but that was as close as the Lions (2-9) came.

Back-to-back three pointers by Crooms and sophomore Brandon Adams extended the LWC lead to 67-47 with 7:35 left. Adams finished with 12 points, all in the second half.

The Lions managed to cut the lead below the 20-point plateau just once -- 70-58 with 6:32 left -- inside the final seven minutes on a pair of free throws by FHU sophomore Kristoffer Smith. Smith finished with 12 points.

Lindsey Wilson senior Jeremy Johnson answered with a three pointer and the Blue Raiders cruised to the 91-65 win. Johnson finished with 11 points.

The Blue Raiders shot 54.7 percent (23-of-58) from the field, including 9-of-20 from beyond the three-point arc. Lewis led the way, making all five of his shots and all three treys. Labka finished 5-of-8 from the field, while senior guard John Fitzgerald -- who ended with 12 points -- made five of six shots.

Freed sophomore Shun Trevillian led the Lions -- who were held to 39.7 percent (23-of-58) from the field -- with 13 points.

Lindsey Wilson's game with Ohio State University-Newark, scheduled for Sunday, has been canceled and will not be made up.
