Terriers Avenge Earlier Loss with 78-52 Win

Box Score
SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Spencer Collins scored 15 while Lee Skinner and Karl Cochran added 13 points each as Wofford posted a 78-52 victory over The Citadel on Senior Night at Benjamin Johnson Arena on Saturday evening.
 
The Terriers (23-6, 14-2 SoCon) were efficient throughout the night on offense as they hit 31-of-55 (56.4%) from the floor and 6-of 19 (31.6%) from 3-point range. Wofford also added 10-of-12 (83.3%) at the free throw line as it moved to 8-1 at home on the season.
 
Collins led the Terriers by virtue of hitting 5-of-8 from the floor, knocking down two treys along the way. Meanwhile, Skinner finished 6-of-7 from the field, to go along with seven rebounds, and Cochran capped off the game hitting 6-of-13 from the floor and snagging a game-high nine boards.
 
Jaylen Allen came off the bench to finish with 10 points, knocking down three field goals, and forced a game-high three steals.
 
Facing a 15-point deficit coming into the second half, The Citadel (10-17, 5-11 SoCon) remained within striking distance with five points by Ashton Moore and four from P.J. Horgan to make for a 45-31 contest with 12:59 left.
 
Wofford countered with a 19-9 outburst that took 7:39 off the clock and included five points from Collins.
 
Leading 64-40, Wofford surrendered a jumper to Brian White and free throws to Marshall Harris III and Tim Broom before closing out the game by scoring 13 of the final 21 points to make for a 26-point win.
 
White led The Citadel in scoring for the second time this season closing out the game with 19 points (8-11) and pulled down five rebounds (two offensive). He was joined in double figures by Ashton Moore who finished with 12 points due in large part to 5-of-6 shooting at the free throw line.
 
Horgan added five points and tied White with five rebounds as The Citadel struggled throughout the game, hitting 18-of-43 (41.9%) from the floor. The biggest issue came from 3-point range where the Dogs hit only 3-of-12 (25%).
 
Wofford's surgically precise offense finished with a 46-18 advantage in points in the paint and a 32-10 edge in bench points.
 
The Bulldogs endured one of their most difficult shooting performances of the first half all season as they converted only 6-of-18 (33.3%) from the floor.
 
White led The Citadel in scoring with eight points, knocking down 3-of-5 from the field.
 
Wofford streaked out to an early 8-2 advantage, but a 3-pointer by Wright coupled with a series of free throws by White allowed The Citadel to pull within one.
 
After a 10-all tie, following a jumper by Bray, Wofford put together a 20-6 run that took 8:31 off the clock to forge in front 30-16. The Terriers were led in the stretch by the combination of Collins and Allen who contributed seven and six points, respectively.
 
The Dogs closed out the half by scoring four of the final nine points, including a 15-foot jumper by White, to trail by 15 points at the break.
 
The Citadel returns to action next Thursday when the Dogs play host to East Tennessee State at 6 p.m. The Cadets remain at home for Saturday's game against Western Carolina where seniors Ashton Moore, P.J. Horgan and Marshall Harris III will be recognized prior to the game.
