Shooting Accuracy Propels Lynx to Victory at Belhaven

Jackson, Miss. - Rhodes College men's basketball shot a season-high .642 in the field overall and .536 from three-point range on their way to scoring a season-high 108 points in a road victory against Belhaven University (108-98). 

Rhodes trailed by 11 in the first half but a 16-8 run put the Lynx down by three and back in the game with 8:44 to play. By halftime Rhodes held a 51-48 advantage. A Belhaven three-pointer gave the Blazers a two-point edge four minutes into the second half, but a 21-point run gave Rhodes an 85-66 lead with 10:37 to play. During those five minutes, the Lynx made eight baskets, sive of which were from beyond the arc. Of those five, four were made by Jake Nestlehutt who sank three in a row!

The lead was enough to hold off the Blazers who then scored nine straight points before inching their way to a seven-point deficit with 6:14 to go. 

Nestlehutt totaled 21 points in the game, going 7-of-9 from three-point range. Preston Giroux went 9-of-11 in the field to total 19 points and nine rebounds. Mitch Weatherford went 8-of-9, totaled 17 points and tallied six assists while Bryce Berry also tallied 17 points.
