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.

Game 504 - VMI at Samford
January 29 at Pete Hanna Center in Birmingham, AL

What a game for Triston Chambers.
The sophomore guard was 8-of-13 from three-point range on his way to a career-high 34 points in Samford's 93-79 win.
Chambers got a ton of help from his teammates as the other four starters all reached double-figures: 14 each for Justin Coleman (and six assists), Eric Adams and Demetrius Denzel-Dyson and 12 for Josh Sharkey (and seven assists). That quintet made more than half of their field goal attempts (27-of-53).
* Play-by-play man Curt Bloom is now a front-runner for our Nonsense of the Year award:
"VMI is playing with something that's not in our stat sheet - it's called swagger. And you can't teach that."
Curt!
Excellent work, sir.

I didn't hear the color commentator's last name, but Phil had THIS to say:
"Timmons Arena, not a strawberry festival either to try and get a win."
Phil!
