Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Morrill). They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat the Minatare Indians 70-40. The matchup was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 39-13.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Morrill to victory, but perhaps none more so than Ashwin Pittman, who shot 4-for-7 from beyond the arc and dropped a double-double on 18 points and ten boards. Pittman is also on a roll when it comes to blocks, as he's now posted two or more in the last five games he's played. Another player making a difference was Wyler Fisher, who went 7 for 13 en route to 17 points and six rebounds.
