Men's Basketball Rolls Past King's

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - The Arcadia University men's basketball team rolled past King's, 85-54 on Saturday afternoon.  

Three Knights scored in double-figures as Arcadia picked up its fifth MAC Freedom of the season. Jalen Watkins recorded a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds.  

HOW IT HAPPENED 

  • The two teams played a back and forth opening six minutes, but the Knights eventually took a 21-19 lead. After that point, Arcadia led for the rest of the opening 20 minutes, leading by as much as seven. Shayne Rechner hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to give the Knights a 37-31 lead at the halftime break. 

  • King's cut the Arcadia lead to three, but the Knights rolled off an 8-0 run to take an 11-point lead. The Monarchs got within seven, but that's the closest they would get as Arcadia went on a 26-2 run to close out the win.
