The Lipscomb men’s basketball team fell 90-78 to NJIT Monday night in Allen Arena.
NJIT pressed a hard defense and relied on sinking three-point shots.
“The reason they were 16-of-29 is because we allowed them to get clean looks and they got in rhythm,” head coach Casey Alexander said.
The Highlanders caused the Bisons to reach a season high of 23 turnovers.
Throughout the night, senior David Wishon scored a team high of 24 points. Joining Wishon in the double digits was junior J.C. Hampton with 18 points, sophomore George Brammeier with 12 points and sophomore Nathan Moran with 11 points.
“NJIT took our three-point shooters away and they just let us throw it in there [down low],” Alexander said. “Thankfully, our guys had nice games.”
The Highlanders were led by Damon Lynn, who scored 26 points and added five assists.
The Bisons’ next game will be at 1 p.m. Saturday against USC Upstate.
