Ferrum Second Half Shooting Leads Them Past Methodist

FERRUM, Va.  Methodist men's basketball were on the road to take on Ferrum College on Sunday afternoon, in non-conference action. The Panthers shot nearly 71% in the second half for an 83-59 runaway win over the Monarchs in Swartz Gymnasium.
 
JUST THE FACTS
Final score: Ferrum def. Methodist, 83-59
Records: Methodist 0-4, Ferrum 2-2
Location: Swartz Gymnasium; Ferrum, Virginia

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Methodist and Ferrum looked evenly matched for nearly the first six minutes of the ball game. Johnny Franklin of the Panthers shifted the momentum toward his team by scoring five of the next seven Ferrum points to take a 16-10 advantage.
  • The Monarchs made it a one possession contest after Montell Moore nailed a three. Following some tradeoffs of buckets by the teams, the Panthers went on a 6-0 run to go up 27-18. Methodist finished the first half strong by scoring eight consecutive points to only be down by one, 31-30, with Derrion Hicklen tallying half of them.
  • Ferrum registered the first five points just under a minute into the second half to extend their lead to 36-30. A steal and fastbreak layup by Brone Brinson kepted the Monarchs within a two possession game but after that the Panthers got hot from the field.
  • A 9-0 run by Ferrum eventually enlarged the lead to over 20 points. Clayton Coe did his best to try to spark Methodist offense by knocking down a pair of three-pointers but another good run by the Panthers would put this game well out of hand.
MORE TO IT
  • Ferrum were 22 of 31 (70.97%) from the field, including 4-5 (80%) from behind the arc, in the second half. The Panthers concluded the contest with a field goal percentage of 58.9% (33-56).
  • Coe led the Monarchs with a team-high 12 points, while Brinson and Moore each had 11. Ferrum had four scorers in double digits with Tahli Oden (17) leading the way.
  • T.J. East's 11 rebounds not only led the team but was also tied for game-high.
