A big week from sophomore Brian Halums helped the Indians improve to 5-2 on the year with a 79-72 come-from-behind win at Wallace (AL) Community College of Selma and an 84-82 win at Arkansas Mid-South Community College.
On Monday, Halums (Simmons) scored 15-straight to rally the Indians to a 71-65 lead with 1:45 left in the game. The Indians took care of business from the free throw line to hang on for the win at Wallace-Selma.
The Ole Miss signee finished the night with 31 points and 13 rebounds. Tre Jenkins (Tupelo) scored 14 with Paris Harris (Hot Springs, AR) adding 12 in the victory.
Thursday, Halums recorded his third double-double of the season after scoring 28 points and grabbing 11 rebounds, but it was freshman Chayton York (Philadelphia) that proved to be the difference maker in the Indians' road win against Mid-South.
York scored seven of the Indians' final 11 points, including going 5-of-6 from the free throw line, in the final four minutes of the game. Jenkins scored 16 while Harris recorded his first collegiate double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds.
