Findlay Pulls Away in Second Half to Defeat Tiffin

Box Score

FINDLAY, Ohio - Tiffin men's basketball started well on the road at GMAC power Findlay as the Dragons and Oilers went into halftime tied at 41, but Findlay pulled away in the second half for a 93-75 win on Saturday afternoon.

Midway through the first half, the Dragons grabbed a five-point lead, 24-19, on a Jairus Stevens jumper. Findlay countered with a 19-4 run however to take a 10-point lead, 38-28, with just over five minutes to play in the period.

Tiffin showed great resilience over the rest of the half though, outscoring the Oilers 13-3 to even the score heading into the break. Eric Turner had a pair of threes and Brevin Brimble added a triple during the run, which was capped by Trent Williams picking off a lazy Findlay pass and Thomas Hickman converting a tough layup with two seconds left.
