FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The Indiana Tech men's basketball team snapped a two-game losing skid as they defeated Lourdes, 78-48, on Wednesday night at the Schaefer Center.
Miles Robinson led all scorers with 16 points as he went 4-of-5 from the three-point line and a perfect 4-for-4 from the free throw line. The trio of
Lavonte Davis,
Tanner Watkins and
Jaelen Manson all chipped in 12 points each, with Watkins and Manson hitting season-highs. Watkins and Manson would each hit four three-pointer each while Davis went 6-of-8 from the field and had a game-high three blocks.
Scott Schwieterman pulled down a career-high 13 rebound while adding eight points and two blocks.
The Gray Wolves would get out to a 4-0 lead just under two minutes into the game, but a three from Watkins and a thunderous dunk from
Dominique Walls would give the Warriors a 5-4 lead. Lourdes would tie the game at five with a free throw from Darrionate Stewart, but Robinson would respond with his first triple of the night to give the Orange and Black the 8-5 lead and one that they would not relinquish.
Tech was unable to shake off the visitors for most of first half, but got a 9-2 run in the last three minutes, four of those coming courtesy of Schwieterman while Robinson capped it off with a triple, to head into the locker room with a 37-20 lead.
A 16-11 run by the Gray Wolves to open the second half would give the visitors a shot of life, but a Robinson would respond with another triple to stop the bleeding and the Warriors would go on an 11-2 run to push the lead up to 24. Tech would then control the rest of the game as they extend their lead to as many as 34 points.
