Suffocating Defense Gives #4 Men's Hoops 15th Straight Win

ASHLAND, Va. – Defense was the key for #4 RMC men's basketball as the Yellow Jackets cruised to a 64-40 win over Ferrum to extend the win streak to 15 games.
Score: Randolph-Macon 64, Ferrum 40
Venue: Crenshaw Gym
Records: Randolph-Macon (20-3, 13-1 ODAC), Ferrum (14-9, 5-9 ODAC)
How it Happened:
  • Ferrum scored the first two points of the game, but from that point, RMC completely dominated. Lance Johnson (South Riding, Va./Freedom) and Charlie Thornton (Radnor, Pa./Radnor) knocked down a pair of threes each as the Yellow Jackets ignited a 19-0 run and a 27-2 run that gave them a huge lead with eight minutes to go in the first. RMC led 31-7 before Ferrum got some offense going to end the half on a 10-2 run as the RMC halftime lead was 33-17.
  • RMC stormed out to a 7-2 run to start the second half and both teams traded buckets throughout the second half. Will Coble (Greensboro, N.C./Davidson Day) hit a pair of threes to keep the RMC lead greater than 20 points. Samuel Brannen (Suffolk, Va./King's Fork) had a seven-point spurt in the final 1:40 as RMC continued to roll to a 64-40 win.
Inside the Numbers:
  • Margad Choijilsuren (Fairfax, Va./Fairfax) was the only RMC player in double-figures with 11 points on 5-8 shooting. He also finished with eight rebounds.
  • RMC had four players with exactly eight points.
  • Daniel Mbangue kept on pace for his season averages, finishing with eight points, eight rebounds, and four assists.

  • RMC shot 8-19 (42%) from three, marking the eighth game this season that the Yellow Jackets have shot 40% from deep.
