Game 2 - Christmas Knight



RMU's Adam Haluska has the Knights focused




Around the Super through Game 2 (12/24) ... Robert Montgomery U was in a giving mood this Christmas, so they gave UNC a whuppin', and gave the scoreboard a workout, in a 104-65 win over the Doves. Adam Haluska scored 36 points as the Knights became the first team to break the century mark since the 2004/2005 season. Freshman Kevin Coble, who is making Coach Mockler look like a genius for recruiting him, added 23 points, and Daequan Cook tacked on 21. RMU had an outside shot at the single game scoring record (116), but Brian Butch (11 points) couldn't find his outside shot. Kammron Taylor paced Nelson Christian with 17 points ... Carl Landry poured in 26 points and Drew Neitzel added 20 as Superior Baptist moved to 2-0 with an 80-62 win over Oskee Wow-wow. Shaun Pruitt had 19 points to lead the Warriors, who dropped to 0-2 ... Geary Claxton and DJ White combined for 37 points as Great Lakes Christian turned back Hershey, 54-50. Greg Oden finished with 18 for the Red Storm, but it wasn't enough to overcome single digit efforts by Lawrence McKenzie (5) and Dion Harris (2).
