JONESBORO, Ark. -- Jonathan Donaldson scored a game-high
17 points, but the Lyon Scots had very little else going
for them on the wrong end of an 87-51 rout courtesy of
the Arkansas State Indians Saturday at the Convocation
Center.
The Scots shot only 33 percent from the field (20 of 60)
and 46 percent from the charity stripe (6 of 13), while
Donaldson shot 7 of 13 from the field and 2 of 4 from
the 3-point line.
The Indians were led by the trio of Adrian Banks, Isaac
Wells and Ryan Wedel, who carved the Scots for a
combined 44 points on 13-of-30 shooting, including a
6-of-14 clip from the 3-point arc. Banks led the Indians
(2-3) with 16 points and Wells and Wedel added 14
apiece.
As a team, ASU hit on 48 percent of its field-goal
attempts (28 of 58) and gunned down 41 percent (7 of 17)
of its 3-point tries. The Indians hit on 50 percent of
their triples in the first half to jump to a 49-26
advantage at the half.
Preston Butts added seven points for the Scots and
teammates Brandon Thomas, Trey Salley and Alex Kelly
earned five each.
The
game was an exhibition for the Scots, who remain at 3-3
on the year.
