Big First Half Run Propels Tigers to 79-48 Win Over Virginia Intermont

Down 11-4 with 15:18  to play in the first half, Campbellsville went on a 30-0 run that began with an Aaron Wyatt three pointer and was capped wtih a two point basket by Terrill Holley at the 5:59 mark as Campbellsville coasted to a 79-48 win over Virginia Intermont.  The game was the nightcap of the 9th annual Lou Cunningham Classic hosted by the Tigers.  
 
Campbellsville shot 7 of 10 from the three point line in the first half and was 57% from the floor in the first half.   That improved to 61.5% in the second frame.
 
However, perhaps more impressive was the Tiger defense, which held a Virginia Intermont team that averaged 84 points per game to just 48 points on the night.
 
"Tonight we saw what this team is capable of doing, " said CU coach Keith Adkins.  "I told our guys that November would be tough and I take responsibility for that because I scheduled tough games, but I really believe it will help us down the road.  But tonight, I saw that hustle and intensity that we had been missing the last  couple of games," he added.
 
Campbellsville was led by Zach Allender's 23 points while Jordan Benock had 11 points for the Tigers.
 
The Tigers host Taylor University tomorrow at 4:00 p.m.
