Game Recap: Men's Basketball | | Darian Davis

In the victory over NAU, Hall drops 14 dimes and Boling records his first double-double

December 13, 2022

 

Waxahachie, TX: On Tuesday afternoon at the Sheaffer Center in Waxahachie, Texas, the Southwestern Assemblies of God University (SAGU) Lions men's basketball team played the North American University (NAU) Stallions.

 

In SAGU's 99-76 victory over NAU, several Lions scored in the team's evenly distributed scoring onslaught.

Lion Review

  • The NAU defense offered the Lions virtually little opposition early on in the game. To generate numerous simple baskets, SAGU was able to execute sets and distribute the basketball inside-out.

  • Tyler Kinghorn scored 13 points in the opening frame. Alerick Hall dropped eleven first-half dimes. As they executed pick and rolls in the halfcourt and fastbreak moves, the pair was electrifying to watch.

  • Freshmen JJ Boling and Dallas Smith of the SAGU bench impressed on offense, slashing and scoring pull-up jumpers.

  • Philbert Weekes and Daniel Felix appeared to be automatic buckets when they obtained the ball in the paint.

  • The SAGU team's selfless performance would continue to fuel their attacking strategy in the second half.

  • The Lions' starting frontcourt of Cortland Blake and Tyler Kinghorn combined for 19 points on outstanding shooting percentages. 

  • JJ Boling scored 12 points and pulled 11 rebounds to register his first double-double in his collegiate career.

  • Regarding assists, Alerick Hall outperformed the North American University squad on his own. Hall outpaced the NAU team with 14 assists compared to their 13.

 

Deal's Declaration  

 

"That was a great way to finish the semester at home. Three guys with double-digit rebounds and great team basketball. Proud of the effort." SAGU head men's basketball coach Delton Deal said.
