Game 616 - North Alabama at Samford
November 6 at Pete Hanna Center in Birmingham, AL
espn3
The trio of Josh Sharkey (18 points, seven assists), Myron Gordon (19 points) and Ruben Guerrero (17 points, four blocks) combined to shoot 72% (23-of-32) from the field, more than enough for Samford in its season opener, a 91-74 win.
It was North Alabama's first game as a Division 1 member as the Lions are making the transition from Division II to the Atlantic Sun Conference.
The visitors from Florence, Alabama trailed just 14-12 after a 3-pointer from Jamari Blackmon at the 15:47 mark of the first half, but Samford put together a 22-6 run over the next six minutes and were never threatened again.
North Alabama was good from the outside - 14-of-26 - but struggled on 2-pointers (27%). Meanwhile, Sharkey was excellent in the opening half (Samford led 49-30 at the break after shooting 70% from the field) and the visitors couldn't recover.
