Men's Basketball Visits No. 5 Cumberlands (Ky.) this Thursday

2/14/2024 3:44:00 PM

COLUMBIA, Ky. - The Lindsey Wilson men's basketball team will aim to continue their 3-game winning streak when they visit no. 5 ranked Cumberlands (Ky.) this Thursday for conference play. 

The Blue Raiders (14-10) (5-4 MSC) are carrying great momentum, and handing their rivals Campbellsville a loss on their last time out definitely provides an extra boost. Kenyata Carbon played, arguably, his best game of the season as he recorded his second 30-point game of the year with 30 points on 9-of-12 shooting and a 10-for-13 effort from the foul line. He also added 11 assists, eight rebounds and a steal. In the previous game against the Phoenix on Thursday, Carbon shot 8-for-10 from the floor en route to 20 points and added eight rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals. Both performances earned him the Mid-South Conference's men's basketball Player of the Week. 

Bryce Brown is another Blue Raider in great form, this past weekend he recorded a total of 53 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists and a .642 shot percentage. 

The Patriots (22-2) (7-1 MSC) won their last game 91-84 against no. 6 ranked Freed-Hardeman and are also unbeaten at home so far this season. Jonathan Brown will be a player to look out for as he leads his team in points with an average of 15.2 points per game and recorded 15 against the Lions. 

Last matchup between both teams was this season on February 1st at Biggers Sports Center, where Cumberlands came out on top with a score of 93-82. Lindsey Wilson will try to avenge their loss at home in this rematch. The overall head-to-head record is 23-60 in favor of the Patriots, with a significant advantage of 5-33 when they play at home. 

Thursday's matchup against the Patriots is set to begin at 6:30 p.m. CST. The game will be streamed live on Patriots All-Access
