NORTH CANTON, OH: Walsh Men's Basketball is hot despite the mid January temperatures in Northeast Ohio. The Cavaliers froze out the Kentucky Wesleyan Panthers, yesterday, as they rolled to a 102-66 win. Walsh scored 59 points in the second half alone. Walsh now moves to 13-2 on the season and 7-2 in the G-MAC. The Cavaliers also sit on top the G-MAC standings with two other teams having 3 losses. 

Through the first ten minutes, the Panthers and Cavs battled it out, both teams taking leads. Walsh then turned the heat up going on a 15-0 run, including two dunks from Quintero Barnett and Matthew Biddell. Up by as much as 18, the Maroon and Gold took a 13 point lead into the halftime break. 

Kentucky Wesleyan cut the deficit to 8 right, starting the second half strong but that quick start turned to a quick downfall as the Maroon and Gold took complete control of the game. The Cavs led by 25 at the 8:36 mark and then pushed in to 36 by the final horn. 

The Men shot 53.4% from the field, made 11 threes, and shot 13 for 15 from the foul line. Walsh also only had one turnover throughout the 40 minutes.
