WOW.

Philly.com: Lincoln University 201 Ohio State-Marion 78
Garfield Yuille was so peeved at his Lincoln University men's basketball team after Friday's loss to Salem International - their first of the season - that he challenged the players yesterday.

"I told them they better play better defense," Yuille said. "I said, 'Focus on what you're doing.' "

The Lions focused all right. They used their usual run-and-gun offense and full-game full-court press to set five Division III scoring records, including most points in a game, in a 201-78 romp over Ohio State-Marion in Salem, W. Va.

The Lions, who emptied their bench against the overmatched 1-5 Scarlet Wave, set Division III records for most points in a half (104 in the second half), most field goals attempted in a game (141), most field goals made in a game (79), and largest margin of victory (123 points).

The previous Division III scoring mark of 172 points was set by Redlands (Calif.) in 2005.

Individually, senior guard Sami Wylie set a Division III record by draining 21 three-pointers and a Lincoln record by scoring 69 points overall. The Southern High graduate was 23 of 44 from the field, 21 of 41 from beyond the three-point line, and 2 of 3 from the free-throw line.
