Tigers Cruise Pars Wesley College, 94-68

LIVINGSTON, Ala. —The University of West Alabama Tigers scored a season-high 94 points en route an 94-68 win over Wesley College on Monday night at Pruitt Hall on the UWA campus.

UWA (7-13, 1-5) led for 38 minutes of the contest, stretching its first lead of the contest at the 17:52 mark of the opening period to double figures at 21-11 with 12:24 left in the first 20 minutes and led by as many as 12 in the first half.  The Warriors made a run to close out the half, going on an 8-0 run to shave the lead down to four.  WC (11-15) closed the lead down to as many as three on multiple occasions before UWA took a seven-point edge at 41-34 into the halftime break.

The Tigers cruised in the second half, extending the lead back out to double figures two minutes deep into the final half, eventually extending the lead out to 20 points at the 14:35 mark of the half.  That advantage was pushed out to its largest deficit of 30 points at 89-59 with just three minutes left in the contest.  The Red and White connected on 22-of-34 (64 percent) in the final half.

Five Tigers turned in double figure point totals, led by junior Glenn Miles’s double-double.  Miles registered 16 points and pulled down 10 rebounds.  The Birmingham, Ala.-native also was credited with four assists in the contest.  Junior Kevin Johnson also registered 16 points and was just two boards shy of a double-double.  Brian Murphy pitched in 16 points, nine from behind the arc.  Senior Michael Billings came off the bench for 14 points.  Maurice Naylor added 10 points.
