FORT WAYNE, Ind. - Behind career-high scoring efforts from Anthony Isaac Jr. and Mason Shrout, the Purdue Fort Wayne men's basketball team topped Albion 103-65 on Saturday night (Nov. 7).
Isaac finished with 19 points on 9-of-10 shooting. He is one of six Mastodons to shoot 90 percent or better on 10 or more attempts in the program's Division I era. Shrout pitched in a career-best 18 points on 6-of-10 shooting, 5-of-7 from 3-point range.
Tamaje Izuagbe (12) and Jaiden Arnold (10) also reached double-figures. It was Arnold's first action as a collegian. Eleven different Mastodons scored in the contest.
Albion hung around in the early moments of the night before Purdue Fort Wayne rattled off a 16-0 run to go up 20 shortly after the first media timeout. Six different 'Dons scored in the stretch that saw PFW go 6-for-6 from the floor with four triples. Shortly after, another 13-0 run put the 'Dons up 34 with over six minutes left in the first half.
Defensively, the 'Dons forced the Britons into 21 turnovers thanks to 19 steals. Nine 'Dons had at least one steal, but DeAndre Craig Jr. had six, a career-high. That mark is tied for fifth-best in the program's DI era history.
Purdue Fort Wayne shot 56.8 percent (42-of-74) from the floor and 39.4 percent (13-of-33) from 3-point range. The 'Dons dominated in all phases, racking up 58 points in the paint, 59 bench points, 34 points off turnovers, 22 fast break points and 18 second chance points.
With the victory, Purdue Fort Wayne improved to 1-1 on the young season. Albion fell to 0-1.
The Mastodons will play host to the Western Michigan Broncos on Thursday (Nov. 12) at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum.
