Men's hoops defeat Centre in conference opener 86-77

SEWANEE, Tenn. – Russ Marr tallied 23 points and shot 80 percent from both the field and beyond the yard as the Tigers picked up a win against Centre in the conference opener in men's basketball action on Saturday afternoon in Sewanee, Tenn. 

Tre Corrigan opened the scoring for Sewanee sinking two threes in the first two and a half minutes of the game. The first four points for the Tigers came from beyond the yard, with Graham Smith and Cody Baerlocher sinking the next two for Sewanee. The Tigers created a seven-point lead with a minute and a half left in the first of a layup from Blake Bouldin, but the Colonels cut their lead to five from the charity stripe in the remaining minutes of the half. Centre collected 10 points from free throws in the first half and the Tigers ended the first half shooting 47 percent from three, netting nine three-pointers, and 48 percent from the field. 

In the second half, the Colonels came out strong as they cut the Tigers' lead and got their first lead with just under 15 minutes left, but the Tigers responded with a three of their own, gaining the lead back. Centre tied the game at 51 all with an extra point from the line, but the Tigers responded with seven unanswered points to gain control back. The Colonels created two more chances to come within striking distance, cutting the Tigers' lead to one, but Sewanee was able to find a response both times staying ahead of Centre. The Tigers closed out the game on the line, as Corrigan and Bigham connected on both of their free throws, building their lead to nine and closing out the game, 86-77.   

Marr played his best game of the season as he collected 23 points, four rebounds, two assists, two steals, and two blocks, and was three-for-three from the charity stripe. Four additional Sewanee players hit double-digits and were vital to the Tigers' defense. Cody Baerlocher posted 13 points, eight rebounds, and three assists; Fletcher Bigham posted 12 points, nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and a steal; Tre Corrigan registered 11 points, seven assists, and five rebounds; and Rashaun Williams recorded 10 points, three assists, two rebounds, two steals, and two blocks. 

The Tigers collected 25 points off their bench, recorded 19 fast-break points, and were 53 percent from the field, 42 percent on threes, and 73 percent from the free-throw line. 

Sewanee travels to Covenant on Wednesday, December 6, as they begin seven consecutive road contests.
