Griffins Pick up PSAC Crossover Win at Bloomsburg

Seton Hill made the long trip across I-80 to Bloomsburg for a PSAC Crossover matchup with the Huskies on Wednesday evening.  The Griffins forced 18 Bloomsburg turnovers and turned those into 17 points in a 78-74 victory over the Huskies.  The Griffins improve to 5-12 overall and 3-8 in PSAC play while the Huskies fall to 5-11 overall and 2-9 in PSAC action. 

Bloomsburg scored the first basket of the game before the Griffins used a quick 7-0 run to take an early 7-2 lead.  Nathan Davis hit a three pointer to open the run.  Bloomsburg answered with an 8-0 run of their own to take a 10-7 lead five minutes into the contest.  The Huskies built their lead to 16-9 with 12:40 to play in the half. 

A three pointer from Davis cut the Huskies lead to 23-21 with 8:54 to go in the half.  Back to back baskets from Milenko Predic tied the score at 25.  Another Davis three and a basket from Malik McKinney gave SHU a 30-25 lead with 4:37 to play.  McKinney and Kealen Coats hit three pointers in the final minute of the half as SHU took a 38-33 lead into the halftime break. 

The Huskies cut the SHU lead to one before Davis hit a three pointer to push the lead to four early in the second half.  SHU was able to extend their lead to double figures (51-41) for the first time in the game after two free throws from McKinney with 14:29 to play.  Over the next five minutes the Griffins were able to keep the lead at five points or more.

Bloomsburg trimmed the lead three points (59-56) with less than ten minutes to play in the half.  A three pointer from Davis and a jumper from Predic pushed the lead back to seven points at 68-61 with 5:59 left. 

Down the stretch, the Griffins had an answer for each time the Huskies cut the lead to two points.  Predic hit two free throws and Davis hit a layin and four free throws down the stretch. 

The Griffins forced 18 turnovers while committing just 6.  SHU outscored the Huskies in points off turnovers 17-4.

Davis led the Griffins with a game high 29 points.  Predic finished with 20 points and 8 rebounds.  McKinney was the third in double figures with 17 points. 

SHU will return to action on Saturday afternoon when they travel to UPJ for a PSAC West contest.
