THE SHORT STORY
Lipscomb went on the road and routed Marshall 90-67 behind a 22-point performance from Titas Sargiunas and hot shooting from the entire squad.

HOW IT HAPPENED

After a couple of scoreless possessions, the Bisons caught fire from beyond the arc. Lipscomb made four early triples to take a 12-4 lead before the first media timeout.

Lipscomb continued to extend its lead when Grant Asman nailed a triple out of the break. The Bisons went on an extended 22-7 run, which saw the team build a 26-7 advantage at the under-eight timeout.

Ethan Duncan scored Lipscomb's sixth trey out of the timeout, but Marshall got a little momentum with five-straight points, cutting the Lipscomb lead 29-12, prompting a Kevin Carroll timeout.

Just before the under-eight media, Marshall launched an 11-0 run, cutting into the Lipscomb lead 36-23 with 2:59 left in the half.

Lipscomb's offense began to taper off from an electric start, but its defense forced 11 turnovers in the opening 18 minutes to keep the gap at double-digits with two minutes left in the frame.

The Bisons scored the final two buckets of the half to take a 43-27 advantage into the halftime locker room.

Lipscomb stayed hot from behind the arc as Sargiunas nailed his second triple of the night to give the squad a 54-30 advantage before the under-16 timeout.

The squads traded buckets in the next minutes as Lipscomb led 66-37 at the second media timeout of the half.
