The NAIA Division I
11th-ranked Campbellsville University Tigers (12-1) used its home
court advantage to knock off the NAIA Division II top-ranked Foresters
(12-2) 74-69. The Tigers, who took a 4-0 lead to open the game,
were up 32-27 at the half and made the five-point margin stick at the
final.
For the game, HU hit three more field
goals than the Tigers (27-24), including two additional treys, but
their usually adept free throw shooting didn't make the trip.
With Campbellsville going 20-36 from the charity stripe in the
contest, the Foresters needed to make the most of their attempts, but
they were a meager 7-13 for the game. HU also committed an
uncharacteristic 17 turnovers to just eight for the Tigers.
Campbellsville used
a balanced scoring attack to earn the victory. Zach Allender led
the Tigers with 16 points and nine boards and Bubba Long finished with
13 points. Six other players scored between five and nine points
for the Tigers.
Alex Kock again led
HU with a double-double effort in the game. His 19 points and 12
rebounds were both game-highs. Kyle Ganton chipped in 17 points
and Jared Yoder added 15 points and six assists.
