Dylan Moles led the Cougars with 14 points. Adam Lester added 11 and Rune Carpenter-Jones had 10.

Josiah Blair, Levi Dewey, Caleb Miller and Isaac Morgan were out Wednesday – Blair and Miller are starters.

Luke Faust stepped into the starting lineup and led the Tigers (4-1) with eight points. Josh Kemper and Jameson Palmer each had seven.

The extent of Lindsey’s injury is unknown, according to TC head coach Kyle Ballard. There is no timetable yet for his return.
