Birmingham-Southern's Long-Range Shooting Overpowers Lynx

Memphis - Birmingham-Southern men's basketball averaged 36.9% behind the arc before taking on Rhodes Friday night. The Panthers shot a season-high 52.4% from long range against the Lynx, winning on the road 94-64. 

Rhodes junior Bryce Berry made a free throw with 12:20 to play as BSC led 12-8. During the next six minutes, fans would only see three-pointers sink into the basket, five from BSC and two from Rhodes, giving the Panthers a 27-14 advantage. BSC continued their hot shooting throughout the rest of the game, taking a 47-20 halftime lead, which included a 12-0 run to end the half. 

Rhodes shot 58.1% during the second half, trying to cut their deficit against the Panthers, who maintained a three-point edge over the Lynx in scoring during the second part of the contest. Neither Mitch Weatherford (3-of-3) nor Brenden McNamara (4-of-4) missed their second half shots while Preston Giroux and Jake Nestlehutt also sank their only attempts during that half. 

In the game, Kerry Love led the Lynx with nine points, six of which came in the second half. McNamara was second with eight while Owen Galvin and Mac James both secured seven points. James and Giroux led Rhodes defensively with five rebounds each. 

Rhodes is at home again on Sunday, hosting Millsaps College at 3 p.m.
