Box Score THOMASVILLE, Ga. – The Thomas University Men's basketball team built a lead as big as 16 just moments into the second half, but a roaring comeback by Webber International nearly cost the Night Hawks its lead and ultimately the game, squeaking out a 70-68 win over the Warriors in a The Sun Conference thriller at TU Gymnasium.
 
The Hunter Green & White (6-11, 6-5 TSC) completed its TSC sweep on the week, now winning four of their last six games.   Junior Guard Jordan Booker had his best performance from the field yet, shooting 6-for-8 while tallying 19 points, five boards and five assists.  Once again, Senior Forward Desean Enzor fell one board shy of notching a double-double, recording a season-best 17 points.  Redshirt Sophomore Keon Williams stepped up big for the Night Hawks, scoring 16 points shooting 60% from the floor and hitting 4-of-6 shots downtown.

2nd Half (TU 70, WIU 68)
