Rams stake revenge with win over Faulkner University MOBILE, Ala. -- The University of Mobile (5-1) nailed 13-of-14 free throws in the final 1:18 of the game as the Rams held off Faulkner University (2-1) 84-71 Tuesday night at home in Pharr Gymnasium. The Rams, who exacted some revenge on the Eagles for an earlier season loss in Montgomery, led from start to finish and built a 15 point second half lead with just over 12 minutes to play before Faulkner rallied to cut the lead down to six points at 71-65 on a Kellen Cole three pointer with just 1:25 to play. However, the Rams, who hit 30-of-40 free throws in the game, knocked down 13 of their final 14 free throws to pull away. The Rams were led inside by senior Gimel Lewis who scored 19 points on 7-of-7 shooting from the field and grabbed seven rebounds while blocking one shot and coming up with three steals. Senior Tramaine Perry led the Rams from the outside scoring 20 points on 7-of-13 shooting and 2-of-3 shooting from behind the three-point line. Gabe Feagin scored 13 points and Chris Bolden added 12 to close out the Rams double-figure scoring. Turnovers plagued a majority of the game as
each team turned the ball over 25 times. However, the
Rams were able to combat their turnovers by shooting 52 percent from
the field (25/48) in the game and 75 percent from the free throw
line (30/40) -30- |
