Hagen Tyler lights up Simmons College with career-high 37 in big win for Campbellsville

CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. — To say Hagen Tyler wasn't absolutely feeling it coming out of pregame warmups would be an understatement. The senior guard hit eight 3-point baskets in the first 12 minutes of action to lead No. 5 Campbellsville to a 111-48 win over Simmons College. 

With tonight's doubleheader score tallying 238 points, it is now the most points scored in a doubleheader in Tiger and Lady Tiger basketball history. 
 
Tyler's eight 3-pointers is the second-most in a single-game during his career as he hit 10 triples against Life University during his freshman campaign. Tyler finished with a career-high 37 points and now has 1,624 points in his career to leap into sixth place on the all-time scoring list in CU history. 
 
Tyler finished hitting 13-of-16 overall and 8-of-11 from deep, while also adding two boards and two assists in 28 minutes of action. The 37 points tonight is the second-most scored by a Mid-South Conference student-athlete this season and is tied for 10thin the NAIA this year.
 
Andrew Smith tallied another double-double – his fifth of the year – with 14 points and 12 rebounds. Also, Jacob King set a career-high with 10 assists and was two points shy of his first-career double-double with eight points. 
 
Stephaun Adams had 19 points, seven assists and four rebounds, while Joan Duran finished with 14 points to round the Tigers out in double figures. 
 
Tonight, the Tigers used the 3-point ball in a big way by hitting a season-high 18 triples. Campbellsville also set a season-high with 27 assists on 41 made buckets overall. 
 
That has been the difference this year. Coming into the night, the Tigers ranked No. 2 in the country with 143 made 3s and leaped Mount Mercy University (145) to take a firm lead with now 161. It is also a firm in the Mid-South Conference as Life University entered the day with 119 made 3-pointers this season. 
 
Simmons College was led by James Mosley's 15 points, while Bevin Robinson had seven rebounds. 
 
The Tigers now start the first semester with a 13-0 record heading into the Christmas break. Campbellsville will now travel to the University of the Cumberlands Classic after Christmas on Friday-Saturday, Dec. 29-30 to play Xavier University out of Louisiana and Freed-Hardeman.
