Men's basketball sets sights on Anderson

Harrogate, TN -  Following a win over Tusculum on Wednesday, its fifth in a row, the Lincoln Memorial men's basketball team now sets its sights on Anderson this Saturday at home. On the season, the Railsplitters are 14-5 overall with an 8-2 mark in conference play. Lincoln Memorial is current riding a five game winning streak, and is 8-1 at home this season. The season has gone a bit differently for the Trojans. Anderson limps into the contest just above .500 in the win column with a 9-8 overall record, with a 4-5 mark in SAC play, and is currently 3-5 on the road this season. However, the Trojans are riding a two game winning streak of their own.

Me'Kell Burries lead the Railsplitters in scoring, averaging 17.4 points per game to go along with 3.2 assists per game. Freshman Wes Enis has exploded onto the scene since joining the team in early January as an early enrollee, and is the team's second leading scorer through eight games, averaging 16,5 points and 3.8 rebounds per game. Chase Rankin is one of the most well-rounded players in the country, as well as the SAC, and is currently averaging 14.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game. Martez Brown is the nation's leading rebounder by a substantial margin. The nation's second leading rebounder (Alex Steen, Florida Southern) trails Brown by a whopping 65 rebounds. Brown is the only player in the SAC averaging a double-double with 12.8 points and 14.5 rebounds per game.

Garrett Denbow leads Anderson in scoring with 18.9 points and 4.2 rebounds per game. He is followed by Cole Middleton, averaging 12.2 points and 6.6 rebounds per game. Garrett isn't the only Denbow that the Trojans rely on. Younger brother Luke Denbow is the team's third leading scorer, averaging 11 points per game. Mack Burgett and Austin Webb are the other two Anderson players averaging double figures at 10.4 and 10.2 points per game respectively. Burgett and Middleton are the team's leading rebounders, averaging 6.6 and 6.5 goals respectively.
