Box Score
MEDFORD, MA-The Williams men's basketball team (15-7, 2-5)
dropped their fifth straight game Saturday, 93-68 to Tufts (11-11,
1-6). Both teams entered the game on four game losing
streaks, however the Jumbos played as if they were due in
displaying exceptionally hot shooting to end their slump.
Four players scored 16 or more points for a Jumbo team that shot
an obscene 62% from the field for the game. Leading the way
for Tufts were Jake Weitzen and Dave Beyel with 20 points apiece on
a combined 14 for 18 from the floor. Beyel hit four
three-pointers to add to the Jumbo total of 14. The
long-range output dwarfed that of the Ephs, who shot just 4 of 16
from behind the arc.
In addition to shooting, the Jumbos would lead the Ephs in
almost every important statistical category, most notably
out-rebounding Williams 31-26 while holding an impressive advantage
in assists at 20 to 8.
For the Eph starters, only forward Joe Geoghegan '10 and
swingman Blake Shultz '10 managed double digits, scoring 13 and 12
points respectively. Freshman Troy Whittington's performance
may have been the lone bright spot, as the big man poured in 11
points on 5 for 8 shooting in just 14 minutes of work.
Williams will look to get back on track next weekend with home
games against Connecticut College and Wesleyan. The Camels
are set to take on the Ephs Friday at 7:30 pm.
