"We played a very good, well-coached team on the road tonight and
got a great win. This was a close game through the entire contest,
and Lincoln was able to go in at halftime with a 35-33 lead.
"Again,
we found ourselves down by a couple baskets at the five-minute mark.
Our guards were able to create some pressure on defense that lead to
some easy transition baskets.
"I was impressed that Brandon Orange put in 11 points, with an
impressive tip-in dunk late in the game. We won this game with
second-effort points from offensive rebounds down the stretch and
some defensive pressure late in the game. We even saw the big guy,
Chris Ware, dive on the floor. These little things win games!"
Kenyon Smith led all scorers with 20 points. Ware had 15
points and Kyler Works added 11.
Lincoln will play their next game at Lake Land in Mattoon on
Tuesday.
