MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Steve Lemasters scored 23 and
David Gray posted a double-double of 11 points and 10 rebounds as
DePauw posted an 86-64 win at Rhodes in the SCAC opener for both
schools. The win was also the 400th career victory for DePauw head
coach Bill Fenlon who is in his 25th season at the collegiate
level. Of that total, 293 have come in 18 years at DePauw.
The victory also lifted DePauw's record to 5-0 for the first time
since the 2001-02 seasons, while Rhodes dropped to 3-4 with the
loss.
Rhodes held a 30-27 lead with just over four minutes left in the
first half, but the Tigers went to the break with a 38-37
advantage.
The Tigers scored the first 11 points of the second half and the
Lynx got no closer than nine the rest of the way.
Lemasters' 23 points were a season high and included 6-of-14
shooting from three-point range. Gray's double-double was the first
of his career and Tony James matched a career-high with eight
assists.
Larry Cunningham paced Rhodes with 15 points, while Reid Hamilton
and Kory Kilpatrick each scored 13. Kilpatrick grabbed eight boards
and Andyshea Saberioon dished out six assists.
Both teams shot 50.0 percent from the floor, but the Tigers made
seven more field goals and hit nine three-pointers.
