Men’s Basketball pummels Western Illinois University

The Mustangs beat the Leathernecks 90-53 in Moody Coliseum on Wednesday night.

The defensive intensity that guards Zhuric Phelps and Chuck Harris talked about in Monday night’s post-game press conference came into the limelight during Wednesday’s match-up.

Phelps and Harris shared their concerns about a lack of hustle on the team’s defensive end on Monday night, hoping for improvement as the season progressed.

“On Monday, we were kind of dependent on our offense to secure and stretch out the lead versus today and the energy was on the defensive end and everyone was feeding off that,” senior guard Emory Lanier said.
