Notes on Coker 
 
- The Cobras fell to 1-9 in SAC play and suffered their fifth consecutive loss with a 113-90 drubbing at 10th-place Newberry on Wednesday. Newberry shot 52 percent from the field and established a new program single-game record with 22 made three-pointers, including 12 in the second half alone. 
- Khalil Halls led a group of four Cobras in double figures in the loss at Newberry with 18 points on 7-for-19 shooting. Larry Cooper and Roy Ellis added 14 points apiece, while Marquis Green had 12 in just 12 minutes of work. 
- Coker has gone 1-10 in December and January. The Cobras lost all 10 of those games by a double-digit margin, including a 99-72 demolition at Lincoln Memorial on December 1. 
- The Cobras' only win over the past month and a half was a surprising 83-72 victory against Anderson on January 5. The Trojans are currently 5-5 in SAC play and 11-7 overall. 
- Coker has the worst offense in the conference by a mile, ranking last in the league in points per game with 71.9, field goals made per game with 26.5, field goal percentage with a 41.3 percent mark and three-point percentage with a 28.3 percent clip. The Cobras' 71.9 points per game are a full three points back of the second-lowest scoring average in the league. 
- The Cobra defense is also among the worst in the SAC, ranking last in opponent field goal percentage (48.9) and three-point percentage (39.0) while conceding the second-most points per game with 88.6. 
- Halls and Cooper are leading the way for the Cobras offensive attack. Halls is scoring 18.5 points per game while shooting 44 percent from the field. Cooper is providing 10.5 points and a team-best 6.8 rebounds per game while shooting 54 percent. Nobody else is averaging more than eight points per game for Coker. 
- Coker is getting outrebounded by an average of 4.2 boards per game, which is the worst rebounding margin in the league. 
 
Last Time Out 
 
The Railsplitters hit nine first-half threes, built a 17-point halftime lead and held off a second-half push to hand the Tusculum Pioneers an 86-72 loss on Wednesday night at Tex Turner Arena. 
 
Lincoln Memorial led by as many 27 points in the second half, but Tusculum closed the gap to as little as 13 on several occasions down the closing stretch. The Pioneers' surge was aided in large part by the Railsplitters committing 15 second-half turnovers that led directly to 20 points. 
 
Career nights from Kamaran Calhoun and Cameron Henry paved the way for LMU. Henry scored 20 of his career-high 22 points in the first half, while Calhoun accounted for 20 of his career-best 27 in the second half. Julius Brown was the only other Railsplitter in double figures with 11 points in 25 minutes off the bench. 
 
Lincoln Memorial defeated Tusculum for the 24th consecutive time while moving to 9-0 at Tex Turner Arena this season and 31-0 over the last 31 regular-season home games. 
 
Tip-Ins

He currently leads the SAC in shooting efficiency with a 64.3 percent mark. 
- After going scoreless against Catawba and Mars Hill, Julius Brown has contributed 11 points in back-to-back games. He is a combined 7-for-12 from the field over that span.
- The Railsplitters are 3-4 in true road games this season compared to 10-0 either at home or at a neutral site.

He is also averaging 12.3 points per game and shooting 80 percent at the charity stripe.
