COLUMBIA, Ky. – A fast start coupled with strong shooting from all around led the Lindsey Wilson men's basketball past Welch (Tenn.) 95-68 on Tuesday evening at Biggers Sports Center.

The victory snaps a four-game losing streak for the Blue Raiders and earns them their second win of the season.

Conner Robinson finished an efficient 7-of-10 from the field and 3-for-4 from the free throw line for a team-high 19 points, while Kenyata Carbon was flawless at the charity stripe, going 6-for-6 as part of a 14-point effort.

On the glass, Lindsey Wilson dominated the Flames 51-21, including 13 boards from Lucas Ribeiro, who also chipped in 11 points for his first double-double of the season.

The Brazilian's resilient three-point play opened the scoring for the Blue Raiders after just 26 seconds. From there, the home side took off on a 25-4 run, during which they shot 10-of-12 from the floor and made four three-pointers.

A Welch three-pointer sparked a comeback, and the Flames would outscore Lindsey Wilson 24-7 to drastically cut into the Blue Raiders' lead. The visitors could not, however, get completely around their deficit and scored only six points across the final 5:52 of the first half to go into the locker room trailing 49-34.

Lindsey Wilson picked right back up to open the second half, as a layup by Barrett Burchyett sent the hosts off on a 17-4 rally that included seven points from Robinson and six from Ribeiro.

The Blue Raiders expanded their lead to as many as 32 points and limited Welch to 39.4 percent on field goals in the second half. Lindsey Wilson, on the other hand, converted on 60.7 percent of its field goal attempts in the last 20 minutes and missed only two free throws the entire night.

The men's basketball team travels to Crestview Hills, Kentucky this weekend for the Thomas More Classic.
