Wolves Close Out 2020 With 3-0 Run

CARROLLTON, Ga. - Senior Day could not have gone any better for head coach Dave Moore and the West Georgia basketball program, as the Wolves trounced visiting Shorter by a 102-69 score at The Coliseum. 

The Wolves shot 52 percent from the field on the afternoon, including 60 percent from three-point range en route to the 33-point victory. Five different players scored in double-figures in the contest, led by junior guard Kadeim Jones and his 18 points. Sophomore Deng Nhial was outstanding from three-point range, hitting 5-of-9 from beyond the arc to score 17 points in the game. 

West Georgia jumped out very quickly in this one, building a 17-2 lead in the first four minutes of the contest and never looking back from there. A three-pointer from Shorter briefly stopped the bleeding, but another run, this time a 10-0 run, pushed the Wolves' lead out to 27-5 with 12 minutes left in the first half. A pair of Tomasso Gini free-throws with just under two minutes left in the half gave West Georgia its biggest lead of the opening period at 53-24. 

As the two teams went into the locker room at the break, West Georgia held a 56-31 lead. Gini had his best game of the year, hitting a pair of three-pointers on back-to-back possessions and scoring nine points in the opening half en route to a 13-point game, his first in double-figures at West Georgia. He and Nhial both had nine in the first half and Jones led the Wolves with 10. 

The Hawks cut the advantage to 14 points early in the second half, but the Wolves' offense was just too much, as the lead reached a height of 35 in the final minutes of the contest. West Georgia had five double-figure scorers in the game, with Seth Brown-Carter adding 13 and Michael Zabetakis pouring in 15 and pulling down nine rebounds. 

West Georgia finishes the season on a 3-0 run, closing out year two of the Dave Moore Era with a 9-19 record and a 7-13 record in Gulf South Conference play.
