Men's Hoops Earns 2nd Win of Season Against Miami-Middleton

ADRIAN, MICH. - The Siena Heights Men's Basketball Team came back from the brief Thanksgiving break with a win over Miami-Middletown 88-84 for their first home win of the season.

The Saints' bench came up big, scoring 45 of the Saints' 88 points.  TJ Hallett set his career high in points, leading SHU with 22 points off the bench on the afternoon.  Landon Links added 12 points off the bench as well.  Davin Walker chipped in 13 points and notched a double/double with 10 assists on the game.  He also led the team with seven rebounds.  Jonas Tester added 16 points for the Saints as well.

The Saints held a five point lead at the half, 33-28.  They saw their lead jump to as high as 23 points with their success from behind the three point stripe in early in the second half.  On the game SHU shot 59.1% from behind the three point stripe compared to Miami-Middletown hitting only 36.4% of their shots from three point land.  Over the final 12 minutes, Miami Middletown scratched and clawed their way back into the game before twelve free throws down the stretch secured the win for the Saints.
