CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. â The Tigers had five of their eight players reach double figures and seven of the eight individuals scored at least five points en route to a 97-71 victory over Cumberland University on Thursday night inside the Powell Athletic Center.
Jalen Coates led all scorers with 21 points and her recorded seven assists for the Tigers (20-9, 5-8 Mid-South Conference), which was more the entire Phoenix (11-16, 4-9 MSC) squad who recorded five. Andrew Smith also reached the 20-point mark with 20 points and he recorded his sixth double-double of the season with 15 rebounds. Jacob King tied his career-high with 13 points and was one off his career-best in assists with six.
Over the two games against Cumberland this season, Campbellsville held an 81-48 edge on the glass after the Tigers outrebounded the Phoenix 40-27 on Thursday night.
The two teams battled back-and-forth to start and had seven lead changes in the first seven minutes of the game, while also seeing the score tied three times.
After Campbellsville trailed 14-11 with 14:28 left in the first half, the Tigers went on a 16-3 run to grab a 27-17 edge with 8:35 left before the half. Campbellsville never looked back and led the rest of the night.
The Tigers extended their lead to as many 20 points in the first half after a three-pointer from Shawn Johnson with 1:08 left in the first half. After four-straight from the Phoenix to closeout the period, Campbellsville took a 53-37 advantage into the half.
Both teams shot lights out in the first half with Cumberland making 16-of-27 shots and the Tigers going 20-for-36 from the floor. However, the Phoenix missed all three of their three-point tries, while Campbellsville was 6-for-10 from deep.
The Tigers continued to run away from Cumberland in the second half as they led by at least 20 points for the final 12:37 of regulation. The Phoenix pulled within 14 points after the first bucket of the half, but seven-straight points from Campbellsville doused any comeback attempt from Cumberland.
With 6:35 left in the game, the Tigers took their largest lead of the night at 85-56. Campbellsville kept the game out of reach and picked up a 97-71 victory over the Phoenix.
The 97 points from the Tigers marked just the second time during conference play they broke the 90-point benchmark and also set a new team-high in conference action this season.
After suffering its worst loss in a conference game under head coach Brent Vernon last time out against No. 3 University of Pikeville, 87-66, Campbellsville bounced back with its largest margin of victory in a conference game under Vernon with the 26-point win.
With the victory, the Tigers move one game back of No. 9 Lindsey Wilson College for the fifth-seed in the Mid-South Conference Tournament after the Blue Raiders suffered a 72-65 loss to No. 11 Georgetown College. Campbellsville and Lindsey Wilson faceoff on Saturday to wrap-up the regular season.
Pikeville has won the regular-season conference championship outright and locked up the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament following its 99-93 victory over No. 21 Life University on Thursday night.
Tipoff in the Battle of Highway 55 on Saturday afternoon is set for 4 p.m. ET from the Powell Athletic Center with Campbellsville hosting Lindsey Wilson for Senior Day and the regular-season finale.
