FORT WAYNE, Ind. - The Indiana Tech men's basketball team won their sixth straight game on Saturday afternoon, as they defeated UNOH by a score of 78-53.
The Warriors once again got off to a nice start, as they took a 13-2 lead to open things up. The Racers would cut it down to three before Tech would pull ahead to go up 35-26 at the break. That would be the closest UNOH would get for the rest of the contest, as the Warriors would have an even better second half, out-scoring the Racers 43-27.Â
Tech dominated the painted area, out-scoring the Racers 44-22 inside. The Orange and Black also capitalized off of UNOH turnovers, scoring 20 in that category, with 14 of them being on the fast break. The Warriors also out-rebounded UNOH, 42-30.
Josh Kline was the high man with 18 points and five rebounds on an extremely efficient 7-8 shooting.
Rog Stein poured in 17 points to go along with 4 boards and two steals.
Steve Helm earned his first start of the season and made good work of it, scoring 12 points, grabbing three boards, dishing three assists, and snatching two steals.
Grant Smith nearly had his fourth double-double of the season, as he finished with 10 points, eight rebounds, and three steals.
Cory McKinney had a nice night as well, chipping in nine points, seven rebounds, four assists, and two steals. The Warrior defense didn't allow a single Racer to finish with double-figure points.
Indiana Tech (9-4, 5-2 WHAC) is in for a busy week, as they'll travel to Taylor (4-7) on Tuesday, and host Huntington (8-3) at 7:00 PM Thursday night, and Lawrence Tech (7-4, 5-1 WHAC) at 3:00 PM on Saturday.
