On Saturday the Spartans defeated the Oakwood Lumberjacks in the Championship Game of the Classic by the score of 56-48.  The Spartans struggled to hit outside shots early in the game against a good Oakwood’s half court zone defense and were down 28-23 at halftime.  The Spartans came out in the second half and were able to attack the Oakwood zone from the inside out and took control of the tempo of the game.  The Spartan responded from a poor shooting night the day before to make clutch Free Throws in the 4^th quarter (18-24 from FT Line).  The Spartans had three players in double figures with John Cole leading the way with 15, Alex Hurley 12 and Anthony Carmichael 11.  Cole recorded his first career double by adding 10 rebounds.  The Spartans had great defensive efforts from Ryan Papanek and Mac Greeley, slowing down Oakwood’s dynamic point guard who was unable to get into a rhythm offensively.
