[November 16, 2009]  GALESBURG -- The Lincoln College men's basketball team won 83-73 over Carl Sandburg on Saturday afternoon.

Sandburg came out and mixed up their defenses and created a lot of problems for the Lynx, then settled into a 1-3-1 zone for the rest of the first half.

"Our inability to be aggressive on the defensive end carried over to the offensive end," said Lincoln College coach Kirk Whiteman. "We were way too passive the entire first half, and I am just glad we were only down 40-31 at halftime."

The Lynx came out in a full-court press in the second half and were much more aggressive. Lincoln also went with four guards in the lineup, which helped.

"We played so much harder on defense in the second half, and that helped create some easy transition baskets and led to a more aggressive half-court offense," Whiteman said.

Kenyon Smith had 28 points and 16 rebounds, Chris Ware had 18 points, and seven other Lynx scored baskets.

Lincoln moves to 4-1, Sandburg drops to 2-3.

Lincoln will host Rend Lake on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
