A pair of the Tiger turnovers led to fast break points for Lincoln during the run. FHSU swiftly trimmed the lead back down to three, but then Lincoln used a 16-6 run to push its lead all the way to 13 with three minutes remaining in the game. Lincoln capped the run with a pair of buckets off FHSU turnovers.<br><br><a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=5865">Jared Vitztum</a>&nbsp;led the Tigers with 14 points and 13 rebounds, producing his sixth double-double of the season.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=5864">Alvin Thompson</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=5870">Traejon Davis</a>&nbsp;each had 13 points. It was a new high for Davis in his young career as he hit three 3-point field goals in the game. The Tigers hit 10 3-point field goals as a team and&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=5859">Kaleb Hammeke</a>&nbsp;tied his season high in assists with six. FHSU was a perfect 8-of-8 at the free-throw line.<br><br>Quinton Drayton led Lincoln with 25 points, hitting five 3-point field goals. Sai Witt was one rebound shy of a double-double for the Blue Tigers, adding 18 points. Yaniel Vidal and Ni'Sean Rigmaiden each finished with 12 points. Lincoln shot 19 more free throws than the Tigers, hitting 19-of-27. The 11-point gap in free throws made between the teams nearly covered the 12-point final margin.<br><br>The Tigers will have a pair of stiff tests on the schedule at home next week when they host a pair of nationally ranked teams in Northwest Missouri State and Missouri Western. Northwest Missouri State held the No. 1 ranking in the nation from the start of the season all the way up to this week before getting knocked off by No. 5 ranked Washburn on Thursday night. NWMSU will likely still be ranked, but may not have the No. 1 rating in front of them come Tuesday when the new rankings release. Missouri Western currently a national ranking of No. 22.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><i>FHSU Athletics</i></p>
