Southwestern Assemblies of God University (SAGU) men’s basketball Wiley College

The Lions came out of the gate ready to play.  They made three three-pointers in a row; Isaak Rowe made one and Keyunta Watkins made two.  The Lions took the quick lead of 14-0.

SAGU held the lead for the first half.  With 4:17 left in the half, SAGU was ahead 35-19.  Wiley was able to go on an 11-three run and bring the score within eight at halftime, 38-30.

“I knew Wiley was an experienced tough team that would be hard to beat on the road,” explains head coach Donnie Bostwick , “We had a great start leading by eight points at half. We lost momentum and were unable to find a solution. That is on me. I was unable to make the adjustments or substitutions necessary to give our team a chance to win.”

In the second half, WC was able to cut SAGU’s lead to two within the first 2:30 minutes.  With 13 minutes left in the game, Wiley took the lead and kept it for the remainder of the game.

Sophomore Isaak Rowe led all-scoring with 19 points. Josh Williams scored 15 points, Lance Tipton added 14 points and Kentton Williams scored 13 points.  Josh Williams also added 12 rebounds.
