Anderson waltzed into their match on Thursday with 11 straight wins... but they left with 12. They strolled past the Richmond Red Devils with points to spare, taking the game 68-54. Given the Indians' advantage in MaxPreps' Indiana basketball rankings (they are ranked 17th, while the Red Devils are ranked 184th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Anderson's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Titus Hunter led the charge by going 7 for 12 en route to 15 points along with six boards and three blocks. Hunter has been hot for a while, having posted two or more blocks the last 11 times he's played. Another player making a difference was Damien King, who posted 15 points in addition to five rebounds and four steals.

Anderson smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 15 offensive boards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least nine offensive rebounds in six consecutive games.

Anderson's victory was their fifth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 16-1. As for Richmond, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost six of their last eight contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 7-11 record this season.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Anderson will head out to challenge Noblesville at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Anderson knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past 12 matchups -- so hopefully Noblesville likes a good challenge. As for Richmond, they will venture away from home to face off against Kokomo at 7:30 p.m. on February 14th. Kokomo is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 76.7 points per game this season.
