Marion, Indiana
(12/01/00)-Trevecca's men started slowly, but found their range and
defeated Cedarville University 106-97 in the opening game of the
Indiana Wesleyan University Classic. Cedarville appeared to be
ready, starting the game with a 11-2 run before the Trojans rallied
and tied the game at 13.
Neither team could establish a
dominant lead in the first half; both teams shot lights out in the
first half. Trevecca was on pace to set a school record after
connecting on 9 three-point shots in the first half. The Trojans hit
9 of 17 three-point attempts, 21 of 39 from the field and 7 of 11
from the foul line. Cedarville also found the inside of the rim more
times than not in the first half. The Yellow Jackets hit 19 of 31
field goal attempts--6 of 12 from three-point range and 11 of 14
from the foul line. Trevecca’s leading scorer on the season
Michael Blivens was suffering from the flu and only played seven
scoreless minutes in the game. Jared Austin, the team's third
leading scorer, was held without a point in the first half due to
foul trouble. The team still managed to claim a 58-55 halftime lead
with 37 points off the bench.
Both teams shot the ball well in
the second half, but Trevecca was able to get a few more
opportunities with a 27-21 rebounding advantage, four more
free-throw attempts, and the 17-14 turnover advantage. The seven
extra field-goal attempts, four extra free-throw attempts and three
fewer turnovers made the difference. Trevecca outscored Cedarville
48-42 in the second half.
Trevecca hit 39 of 70 (55.7%) from
the field, 13 of 27 (48.1%) from three-point range, and 15 of 19
(78.9%) from the foul line. Six players scored in double figures:
Will Partin (23), Eric Addie (18), Curtis Lewis (18), Darryl Keckler
