A recap of Saturday's games... The SoCon went 3-2 on Saturday, with Western, Chattanooga, and Mercer picking up out-of-conference wins, with the Citadel and VMI dropping games.
Western Carolina 98 - Lamar 91 Vonterius Woolbright led six players in double figures with a season-high 19 points as Western Carolina emerged with a 98-91 overtime victory against Lamar on Saturday at the Legacy Center as part of the McNeese State MTE. WCU improves to 3-2 while Lamar drops to 3-2. Woolbright finished 7-for-8 from the field, 1-for-2 behind the 3-point line, and 4-6 at the free throw stripe. Tyzhaun Claude tallied 17 points and grabbed a team-best seven rebounds. Tre Jackson added 16 points followed by Russell Jones Jr with 14, DJ Campbell with 12, and Tyler Harris with 11. Of Campbell's 12 points, five came in the extra session.
Covenant College 55 - Chattanooga 108 The Chattanooga Mocs men's basketball team put on a record three-point shooting performance during a 108-55 rout over NCAA Division III member Covenant College (Ga.) on Saturday afternoon inside McKenzie Arena. Following the win, Chattanooga improves to 2-2 on the season. Covenant sits at 2-4 following the matchup against the Mocs. UTC connected on a school-record 22 three pointers during the win and finished the game shooting at a 55.0% (22-of-40) in total from behind the arc. The Mocs featured 71 points coming off the bench with true freshman Sam Alexis leading the way with 27 points and 11 boards.
Winthrop 66 - Mercer 77 A pair of double-doubles by David Craig and Luis Hurtado Jr. highlighted the win over Winthrop, 77-68, for the Mercer men's basketball team on Saturday, November 19 at Hawkins Arena. It was the first career double-double for both players and the first time since December 28, 2019 that two players recorded double-doubles for the Bears. Hurtado Jr., the graduate transfer from Bryant, continues to shine for the Bears. He became the first Mercer player to record 10 assists since Djordje Dimitrijevic against Samford on February 19, 2020. His 10 assists tied a career high, and Hurtado Jr. also recorded a season-high eight rebounds.
The Citadel 42 - Butler 89 The Citadel could not overcome a hot shooting start by Butler in falling to the Bulldogs, 89-42, Saturday evening inside historic Hinkle Fieldhouse. Butler got off to a quick start as they were hot from the outside in opening a 17-0 advantage. Stephen Clark got The Citadel on the board before Madison Durr, Bailey Conrad and Austin Ash knocked down three-pointers. Butler had an answer for every run by The Citadel as BU hit 12 three-pointers in the first half, compared to four for The Citadel. The second half was more of the same as The Citadel was unable to get the offense going, shooting just 9-of-31 from the field in the game's final 20 minutes.
SIU Edwardsville 93 - VMI 67 Ahead 21-16 midway through the opening half, the VMI basketball struggled to keep pace the rest of the way as the SIU Edwardsville Cougars pulled ahead moments later and built a 46-27 halftime lead en route to a 93-67 win over the Keydets Saturday night at Willett Hall at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia.
