The Lincoln College Men’s Basketball team
finished up their 2019 home schedule in style on Saturday with a
100-77 win over Lindenwood-Belleville University.
LC got on the board first in this contest on a three-pointer by
senior guard Lejavius Johnson (Glenwood) just 17 seconds into
the game. The Lynx would hold a comfortable lead the rest of the
way, nearly doubling LBU’s point total in the first half (66-32)
then cruising through the second half for a 23-point victory.
Five players reached double-digits point totals for Lincoln.
Leading the way was senior guard Trayvon Tyler (Rockford) who
had 25 points. Sophomore guard Darnell Latham Jr. (Chicago) also
eclipsed the 20-point mark by scoring 22. Baytown, Texas native
Julian Powell was good for 15 points and a team-high 13
rebounds, while Lejavius Johnson and sophomore forward Tyrone
Wright (St. Louis) each recorded 10 points.
The win was Lincoln’s sixth in-a-row and improved the team’s
record to 20-7 overall and establishes a final home court record
of 9-3 for the season. LC’s last three games of the season will
be on the road with the next game scheduled for January 11th at
St. Ambrose University at 7:30 PM.
