MSM was able to pull ahead again though and take a big lead again at 59-49 with 10 minutes to play. They coasted from there going on to win 86-72 getting a huge victory against a major conference foe.

They won the game solely on the strength of their strong field goal percentage, shooting 60% to Bama's 46%. They were able to out rebound the Tide but only 30-28. They also had to overcome a 25-18 turnover deficet.

The Tide was led in scoring by SG Charels Jacobsen's 20pts. Backups, SG Attarrius Spencer with 11pts, and PF R. Meyers and his 15pts and 6rbs. C Wes Price was also able to grab 9 rbs, while PG Antoine Pettway had 8pts and 10asts.

Coach Hendry was elated with the victory. "This is the biggest win for this program since i have been here. If you told me when we came here that we would be able to win AT Alambama, then i would have called you stupid. We did it though. We can't be satisfied now because we have a long way to go and much more to accomplish before it is all over."

MSM is now 7-2 (1-0, NEC), and next play at home against the 3-6 Georgia St. Panthers.

Mountaineers TCB against St. Francis (PA)

Coach Hendry had a unique kind of motivation for the MSM Mountaineers before their big showdown with the Red Flash of St. Francis. He said that they must TCB. "I told them that this game was all about TCB. They didn't know what that meant until i walked on the court in practice." Coach Hendry walked out of his office before practice wearing a three piece suit and carrying a briefcase. "I told them that we had to 'Take Care of Business'. This is a huge game for us and we have to make it our business to win games like these."

The coaching stradegy paid off with the Mountaineers winning convincingly 89-60. The biggist key to the game would have to be the comfortable 69% to 49% shooting advantage that the Mountaineers enjoyed. The Flash also struggled taking care of the ball turning it over 17 times as opposed to MSM's 10.

St. Francis was led by PF Steveroy Daley and his 22pts and 8rbs. C Jason Osborne also contributed mightily with 20pts.

For the Mountees Isaac Harvey returned from a game against GA St. plauged with foul trouble to dominate the middle scoreing 32pts and grabbing 8rbs. PF Damon Killngsworth had yet another double double with 18pts and 11rbs to go along with 5asts. Pat Atangana had 10pts while PG Chris Summers had 14pts and 4asts.

MSM is now 9-2 (2-0, NEC) with a trip to Robert Morris up next. RMU is 6-4 (0-2, NEC) so far this year.
