Sometimes, it's just your night.
That was definitely the case on Thursday as the No. 13 Freed-Hardeman Lions scored 60 first-half points en route to a 100-69 win over visiting Lyon (Ark.) College.
FHU closes the regular season at 22-8 overall and 13-3 in conference, setting a new program record for conference wins in a season. The previous record of 12 was established during the 1997-98 season - the only year that the Lions have made it to the national tournament.The game was close for its first four minutes, with the Scots trailing 13-11 after a Brandon Cowart 3-pointer. But then the floodgates opened.
For FHU, outscoring Lyon 47-20 while making 8-of-13 from 3-point range during the run. For the first half, Freed-Hardeman shot an amazing 70.6 percent from the field and 61.1 percent from behind the arc to build a 60-31 lead after Anthony Sampson's 28-footer beat the buzzer.
FHU cooled off a bit in the second half but the damage was already done as the Lions cruised to the win and clinched a second place finish in the TranSouth Conference regular season standings.
Logan Greer scored a career-high 21 points, 16 in the first half, while making 5-of-6 from behind the arc. Zack Frey added 18 points while Shun Trevillian and Jesse Moulton each scored 11. Trevillian also handed out nine assists against no turnovers.
The Lions now prepare for the TranSouth Conference tournament that begins next week. FHU will play in Henderson on Thursday at 7:00 PM against Bethel.
