Lincoln Memorial University held Tusculum College to six second-half field goals and rallied for a 64-58 victory in South Atlantic Conference men's basketball action at Tex Turner Arena Wednesday night.

The 10th-ranked Railsplitters (15-2, 8-1 SAC) finished with a 47-32 edge in rebounding against the Pioneers (4-13, 2-7 SAC) and received 14 points and six rebounds from Wally Jones in sweeping the season series from Tusculum.

Addison Flynn led the Pioneers with 14 points on 6-for-11 shooting, but Tusculum hit just six of its 21 shots in the second half (28.6 percent) and let a 29-25 halftime lead slip away. Overall, the Pioneers went 18-for-50 (36 percent) from the field in the game.

Joining Jones in double figures for the Railsplitters were Vincent Bailey, with 13 points and six rebounds, and Lorenza Ross with 12 points and five boards. Jake Troyli scored seven points but grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds for Lincoln Memorial, which had 15 of its 47 boards on the offensive end.

Neal Spinks also reached double figures for the Pioneers, contributing 11 points and five rebounds in 20 minutes off the bench. Darius Carter added nine points and six rebounds and JD Miller chipped in with eight points and six boards for Tusculum in the game.

The teams swapped the lead several times in the opening minutes, before back-to-back baskets by Miller gamve the Pioneers a 16-9 lead with 9:50 left in the first half. The Pioneers carried the lead all the way through the half, going to the locker room with a four-point advantage.

Flynn led the Pioneers with eight points in the first half and Spinks added seven points and four rebounds for Tusculum. Ross paced the Railsplitters with six points and four boards in the first half, but LMU shot 33.3 percent (9-for-27) from the field as a team and went 1-for-7 from three-point range.

Lincoln Memorial tied the game at 29-29 on back-to-back baskets by Tim Pierce and Bailey to open the second half. The game would be tied at 31 and 33 before Jones hit a three-pointer with 15:19 left to give the Railsplitters the lead for good at 36-35.

Jones added another three-pointer and followed with a putback to cap a 7-0 run and give the Railsplitters their largest lead to that point at 45-37 with 11:10 to go. The Pioneers pulled within two at 47-45 on a basket by Keith Jumper with 8:24 left, but an offensive foul call on Jumper during the next possession sent the Pioneers' leading scorer to the bench with his fourth foul.

With Jumper on the sidelines, the Railsplitters reeled off seven straight points to go on top 54-45 with 6:27 left. The Pioneers were able to trim the deficit to five points on two occasions, the latter on a three-pointer from Flynn with 22 seconds left, but Jones and Pierce each hit a pair of free throws in the closing moments to lock up the win for the Railsplitters.

Pierce, who started in the place of the injured Cam Carden, played 33 minutes for LMU and finished with nine points. Dustin Craig contributed seven rebounds in 25 minutes off the Railsplitters' bench and Curtis McMillion added four points and five boards in just seven minutes of playing time.

Jumper finished with six points and five rebounds for the Pioneers in 22 minutes before fouling out, just the second time in the last eight games that he failed to reach double figures.

The Pioneers finished with a season-low eight turnovers, including just two in the first half, and went 18-for-29 at the free-throw line. Lincoln Memorial committed 13 turnovers and shot 17-for-25 at the stripe in the contest.

Tusculum will return home to face Brevard in a SAC matchup Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m. at Pioneer Arena.
