NEWARK, OH (November 12, 2004)--- The Milligan College Buffaloes basketball traveled to Ohio State-Newark Friday evening to take a victory by a score of 94-71. With the win, the Buffs improve to 2-0 on the season while OSU-Newark falls to 0-3.

Milligan was led by sophomore guard Nick Tuggle (Cordova, Tenn.) as he scored 17 points, ten assist along with nine rebounds against Newark, as Tuggle was only one rebound away from a triple-double night. Senior forward Craig Emmert (Cass City, Mich.) led Milligan in points with 23 and grabbed ten rebounds. The Buffs had a pair of freshman guards record double-digit figures in points, Anthony Wilhelm (Petoskey, Mich.) racked up 15 while Harvey Bell (Spartanburg, S.C.) scored 12 to go along with his seven rebounds.

“We played good team defense in a well played game,” said Milligan assistant coach Tae Norwood, “we moved the ball well against their press and our post players had a big night for us.”

Next for the Buffs is their finale on their Ohio journey with a match-up against Ohio State-Marion Saturday afternoon at 4:00 p.m.
