Box Score COLUMBIA, Ky. – Campbellsville University men's basketball has 10 wins to end the month of November for the first time in program history following a 94-73 win over Voorhees College in the Lindsey Wilson College Blue Raider Classic on Nov. 29.
The Tigers have played more games in November this season than ever before and are currently off to their best start since 2006-07 at 10-1.

"We're sitting at 10-1, and I feel good about that. I didn't think we'd be 10-1 at the end of November. With the schedule we put together, I thought we'd have a couple of losses, but at the same time, as this team talks about winning championships, if you're going to talk about it, you've got to be able to back it up," CU head coach Keith Adkins said.
Despite the 21-point win, Adkins was disappointed once again wanting to see more from his team against a .500 opponent.
"The defensive end is where I have the most concern. We didn't give up a ton of points (this weekend), but at the same time it was not the same effort that we approached the Pikeville game with," Adkins said. "We've gone through this in years past where you've got teams that their attention level, their execution level and effort level is based on the ranking of the team you're playing or the name on the jersey. After playing a few conference games, we stepped out of conference and we did not get a very good effort.
"We've got to get that fire back and that level ."
CU was led offensively by career-high performances by Damontre Harris and Rob Robinson, who each scored 21.
It took the Tigers a little while to get going in the first half, allowing seven ties in the first 20 minutes. Campbellsville scored the last eight points in the first half to take a 39-33 lead into halftime. Darius Clement scored 11 points in the first half to lead CU. He finished with 13 in the game.
Voorhees cut the margin to three, 39-36, in the first minutes of the second half, but CU later used a series of runs to pull away, shooting 75 percent from the field. Campbellsville put together a one-minute, 10-0 run, which was capped by a Robinson 3 to give CU its first double-digit lead, 60-45, with 13:16 to play.
Six minutes later, Robinson scored seven straight on a pair of 3s and a free throw to give CU its largest lead of the night at 27 points, 85-58. Voorhees cut the margin below 20 points with eight seconds left, but Robinson hit another 3 off an assist from Micah Satterly with four ticks remaining. It was Satterly's first action with the Tigers since being called up from the junior varsity squad during preseason.
Robinson scored 17 of his 21 points in the second half on 5-of-6 shooting, all from 3-point range.
Quin Richardson and Eric Gaines scored 14 and 10 points, respectively to put five CU Tigers in double-figures. D'Von Campbell finished with nine points and 10 assists.
CU finished the game shooting 59.6 percent from the floor in the game and 60 percent from the arc.
Voorhees was led by Marcus Hogan's and Greg Henry's 16 apiece. Charles Brown scored 14 and Jerrod Brown had 12.
Campbellsville (10-1, 3-0 MSC) will return to Mid-South Conference action Thursday when it returns to Biggers Sports Center for the third straight game. The Tigers will meet Lindsey Wilson College for a 9 p.m. ET tipoff following the women's game.
