Anderson Earns HCAC Regular-Season Title Outright, Blows Out Hanover

The Anderson University men's basketball team (20-4, 15-2) blew out Hanover College (15-9, 11-6) by a score of 94-75 during Tuesday's Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) matchup in Hanover.

Anderson earned its first outright HCAC regular-season title since the 2009-10 season.

COACH CARTER COLLINS'S COMMENTS

I'm extremely proud of the guys. Everyone knows that winning at Hanover is the furthest thing from easy, but we got huge contributions from up and down the roster tonight to get it done. At times, we were playing lineups that I wouldn't have imagined playing as recently as a week ago, but everyone put that to the side and just went out and competed. Hopefully we can keep it rolling on Friday evening with our Senior Night game against Manchester.
