GRAND RAPIDS — Adam Hobson hit eight 3-pointers for a career-high 28 points and the Huskies men notched their sixth straight win Thursday night over Davenport 84-72. Trent Bell and Owen White also contributed double-doubles.

Carter Johnston dished a pass to White in the final minute to create a one-point advantage for the Huskies at halftime 34-33. Tech shot 51% in the first half. Bell and Hobson scored eight points apiece.

MTU (16-5, 12-3 GLIAC) gained separation six minutes into the second half and connected a 16-0 run to take the lead 64-46. Hobson drained each of his first six 3-point attempts to help Tech to its largest lead, 75-52 (23). Hobson finished 8 for 15 from beyond the arc and 10 for 19 overall to pass his previous season-high point total, 22. 

White frequently fed passes to Hobson on the perimeter and posted a season-high 10 assists to go with 12 points. White shot 5 for 11 and collected six rebounds and two steals. Bell was efficient on offense and effective on both ends of the floor. He shot 10 for 15 with 4 of 5 free throws for 24 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, three blocks, and two steals. Bell has eight double-doubles this season.

“I wasn’t that happy with our start but we adjusted well at halftime and really played well in the second half,” said head coach Josh Buettner. “Adam shot the ball incredibly well from three and Owen and Trent did a great job in multiple aspects. It doesn’t get any easier on Saturday but this was a good step forward.”

The Huskies went 14 for 32 from downtown (44%), two shy of a season-high (16 vs. Finlandia). Michigan Tech corraled 34 rebounds compared to 28 for Davenport. Five players made it to double-figures for the Panthers.
