Ravens Puts Up Program Record 19 Threes in Victory against Rose-Hulman

The Anderson University men's basketball team (16-4, 11-2) hit a program record 19 3-pointers in the victory against Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology Fightin' Engineers (8-12, 6-7) by a score of 118-80 during Wednesday's Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) matchup in O.C. Lewis Gymnasium.

COACH CARTER COLLINS'S COMMENTS

Obviously, it was quite the offensive performance by us [on Wednesday]. We did a great job of maintaining spacing on our drives, and we consistently made the correct decision when we got the ball into the paint. We have the ability to be really tough to guard when we play that way. I thought our defense started off a bit slow, but it did definitely pick up as the game progressed, particularly midway through the first half. Overall, it was a good night for us. We are locked in on our game against Transylvania at home on Saturday, and hope for a big crowd as the two conference co-leaders take the court.
