JACKSONVILLE — It wasn't just the final score inside Pete Mathews Coliseum that caught people's attention Tuesday night, it was also Jacksonville State's ability to score the ball during the first half.
Last season, the Gamecocks scored 60 or less points in 16 games. However, in their first exhibition game prior to the start of the 2015-16 season, they found a way to score 60 points in the first half alone. That start laid the foundation for JSU's 110-61 win over Miles College.
Most of the first half damage was done by junior Erik Durham, who scored 15 of his game-high 21 points during the game's first 20 minutes. The Springfield, Mo., native and transfer from Lamar State shot 5-of-7 from behind the arc during that span. He finished the game 6-of-9 from 3-point land.
Senior guard JaQuail Townser finished with 16 points, 7-of-7 from the free throw line, and five assists in 24 minutes. Freshman DelFincko Bogan finished with 15 points and five rebounds in 17 minutes off the bench for head coach James Green. Malcom Drumwright added 14 points while Jared Hamilton chipped in 12 points to round out a group of five Gamecocks in double figures.
As a team, Jacksonville State brought down 50 rebounds with sophomore Deitrich Cole having a game-high 10. The Gamecocks also went 38-of-47 from the free throw line and shot 46.9 percent from the field for the game.
Kyle Doyle led the Golden Bears in scoring with 14 points off the bench. Gerrald Maddox and Shaquille Cook, both off the bench, finished with 13 and 11 points, respectively. Cook also brought down a team-high six rebounds, while Doyle had five boards and Maddox added four.
Jacksonville State will return to action Monday, when it hosts West Georgia in its second and final exhibition game before the start of the 2015-2016 regular season. The game is scheduled to tip off 7 p.m.
