Without Kohtala, Scots Can't Keep up With Knights
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - Alma College was without its head coach Ed Kohtala, who entered the hospital Wednesday for cardiac diagnostic testing, and the Scots floundered on the road at Calvin, losing 105-49 to the Knights.
Isaac Smith (Merrill) led the Scots with an unlikely yet indicative double-double, scoring 15 points to lead the Scots, adding 10 turnovers. The Scots turned the ball over 19 times in the game while Calvin generated just six steals - 13 unforced errors by the Scots were just one of a host of blunders.
Sam Machuta (Mt. Pleasant) led the Scots in rebounds with six, adding eight points.
To be fair, Calvin was hot throughout the game, shooting nearly 80 percent from the field in the second half to end the game with a 61 percent shooting average, going 65 percent from beyond the arc.
Alma falls to 2-17, 1-8 in MIAA play and returns to action this Saturday, Feb. 3 when it travels to Kalamazoo for a 5 p.m. game. Note this is a time change from the original schedule of 7:30 p.m.
