Oxford 53, Delhi 31

OXFORD – It was a complete reversal of fortune – and momentum – Friday night at Oxford.

The Blackhawks fell behind by 10 points after one quarter, and found themselves trailing 27-19 at halftime. Delhi made five out of seven three-pointers and shot 60 percent from the field in the first half to grab the early thing. “We came out flat again, that has been one of our more consistent things,” said Oxford coach Tim Davis. “We didn’t change defenses, but we came out and played the way we are capable. We were just all over them.”

Delhi scored just four points in the second half, and the eight-point lead turned into a 22-blowout win for Oxford. Caden Izard was 8-for-11 from the field to finish with a season-high 17 points, and Andrew Golden went 8-for-12 from the field to also scored 17 points. Justin Schray contributed an all-around floor game dealing out five assists to go with five steals, six rebounds, and seven points.

After a slow start, Oxford finished 23-for-44 from the field.

Delhi: Ben Gifford, 6 2-2-16; Brandon Simonds 1 0-2-3, Carson King, 0; Macnaught, 0; Ethan Jhan, 0; Connor Tucker, 1 0-0-3; Brandon Snyder 1 0-0-3, Tyler Hymers, 2 0-0-4, Ben Denison, 0; Zack Fogle, 0, Brian Hannigan, 1 0-0-2, Jimmy King, 0. Totals: 12 2-4-31.
