Delhi 66, Greene 43
GREENE – needing at least one win over its last two games to clinch at least a tie for a MAC division title, the Trojans fell flat in the second half to drop their second straight game.
Delhi led by seven at halftime, and jumped out to an 11-3 start in the third quarter. Luke Burns scored nine in the third stanza, and he finished with a game-high 22 points.
“They hurt us inside all night long,” said Greene coach Jeff Paske. “We came out in zone in the second half to force them to shoot outside, but they still got the ball inside. We didn’t have an answer.”
Greene (12-7) finished with 23 turnovers, nearly double its season average. Dan Carlin scored 14 points to lead Greene, and Scott Gorton added 10.
The Trojans visit B-G Wednesday.
