AU Men Keep Pace In Conference Race With Win At TNU

Ashland University's men's basketball team continues to be within striking distance of first place in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference following a 65-51 win at Trevecca Nazarene on Thursday (Feb. 10) night.
 
The Eagles, winners of nine of their last 11 games, are 15-7 overall and 11-4 in the Great Midwest – remaining a half-game behind first-place Malone and Walsh. The Trojans are 5-19, 2-15.
 
For the eighth consecutive season, Ashland has won at least 15 games.
 
The Eagles swept the season series against Trevecca, also taking a 70-46 decision on Jan. 24 at the Sherrill Hudson Court at Kates Gymnasium.
 
WHAT HAPPENED
  • The Trojans scored the first four points, and it was 4-0 almost four minutes in before the Eagles scored the game's next five points. There was little room between the two teams for the entirety of the first half, and going into the break, Ashland had a 35-29 advantage.
  • Defense carried the Eagles in the first 20 minutes, as they forced 11 turnovers.
  • Ashland extended its lead to 40-29 after scoring the second half's first five points, but the Trojans continued to hang around, trailing 48-41 at the 11:40 mark of the half.
  • Looking to put the game away, the Eagles did just that, coming out of the media timeout on a 13-4 run to go up by 16 points at 61-45.
 
THE WRAP-UP
  • Senior guard Bo Furcron led AU with 21 points, and junior guard Brandon Haraway added 16 points, four rebounds and five assists. Haraway (958) needs 42 points to reach the 1,000-point mark as an Eagle.
  • Another senior, forward Aaron Thompson, posted seven points, six rebounds and four steals, and in the process, moved into 12th place on the Eagles' all-time scoring list (1,440 points).
  • Defensively, Ashland kept Trevecca to 4-of-20 from 3-point range, and forced 21 turnovers – the 11th time in 2021-22 the Eagles have forced 15 or more miscues.
  • Thursday night marked the 12th time in 22 games this season that Ashland has yielded 60 or fewer points.
 
UP NEXT
Ashland's men will finish its southern road trip on Saturday (Feb. 12) at 3:15 p.m. at Kentucky Wesleyan.
