Tigers’ Fast Start Sends Cumberland to Road Loss

GEORGETOWN, Ky.--18th-ranked Georgetown used a fast start and a strong shooting performance, handing Cumberland an 104-81 setback Saturday afternoon at Davis-Reid Alumni Gym.

Cumberland (8-10, 0-3 MSC) finished the contest shooting 42.9 percent from the floor and 39.1 percent from three-point range, connecting on nine triples in the game. The Phoenix totaled 30 rebounds, dished out 12 assists, and forced 13 Georgetown turnovers, while committing just 10 of their own.

Individually, Triston Conger led Cumberland with 15 points and six assists, attacking the lane and getting to the free-throw line throughout the afternoon. Michael Nwoye added 16 points and five rebounds, while Jaren Davis provided an efficient spark off the bench with 12 points on 4-of-5 shooting. Jordan Jenkins also reached double figures with 10 points.

Georgetown (15-4, 2-1 MSC) shot 56.1 percent from the field and an even 50 percent from beyond the arc, knocking down 18 three-pointers in the contest. The Tigers also held a 41-30 rebounding advantage and finished with 21 assists on 37 made field goals.

Bubba Leavell and Zion Harmon paced the Georgetown attack with 23 and 21 points, respectively, while Darien Lewis added 16 points and six assists. Isaiah Mason chipped in 15 points and eight rebounds as Georgetown placed six players in double figures.

The Tigers seized control early, opening the game on a 13-0 run while Cumberland was held scoreless over the first four minutes. Georgetown connected on three triples during the stretch and forced multiple turnovers to quickly create separation.

Cumberland settled in offensively midway through the half and began to find success attacking the paint and getting to the free-throw line, but Georgetown's perimeter shooting remained consistent. The Tigers knocked down 11 three-pointers in the opening period and carried a 58–39 advantage into halftime.

The Phoenix continued to compete in the second half, scoring 42 points over the final 20 minutes and shooting more efficiently from long range. Cumberland put together multiple scoring stretches behind improved ball movement and transition opportunities, but Georgetown answered each run to maintain control as the lead grew to as many as 33.

Cumberland will look to bounce back on Thursday as CU finally will get to return home against Campbellsville. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
