Scots running away from Milligan
Now this looks famaliar.
Maryville College opened up a 52-26 halftime lead on Monday night against Milligan by being aggressive and scoring in bunches. The Scots (17-4) had runs of 8-0, 12-0, and 17-2 in just the first 20 minutes.
Those offensive outburst weren’t so much about 3-point shots (Maryville made just four) but by getting to the rack and the free-throw line. The Scots are already 14-of-17 at the line after shooting just 19 foul shots in that narrow loss to the Buffaloes (9-15) in Johnson City last month. Greg Hernandez and Eryk Watson have 11 and 10 points respectively for the black-clad Scots. Milton Stanley has nine, mostly on drives.
Maryville coach Randy Lambert has also done plenty of platooning as he said he might last week. Seven Scots are in double-figure mintues. Stanley’s second group has proved to be the quicker group up and down the floor, earning him some easy baskets and Brandon McGill a fast-break dunk.
