MALTA, ILL. - The final non-conference game of the 2018-19 regular season resulted in the best all-around performance for the Madison College men's basketball team as they defeated Region IV foe Kishwaukee College by a 94-85 final on Saturday. The WolfPack, who now boast a season-high three-game win streak, saw three players score more than 20 points to account for 75% of the team's offense, while the entire committed a season-low five turnovers. The fourth consecutive win over the Kougars also ends the non-conference portion of the regular season schedule with a .500 record.

Madison College opened with an 8-2 run to take control of the game early, but after the lead dwindled to just one midway through the first half, the 'Pack surged to a 33-21 on the basis of a 14-3 burst. The run opened with back-to-back 3's from Nathaniel Buss, followed by five straight points by Adam Anhold, and was capped by Earl Lewis' first career three-pointer. Late in the half the differential swelled to 17 points with a seven-point swing by the visiting team.

The WolfPack remained hot into the second half, making 7 of 11 shots as part of a 16-4 run to create the largest lead of the night at 65-40 with less than 14 minutes remaining. Kishwaukee (3-11) continued to fight and put together a 31-15 surge that brought the WolfPack lead into single digits. A Kougars triple made it a five-point contest with one minute and 20 second to play, however, Madison College tallied eight of the last 12 points to close out the win.

Guard Jalen Addison was the WolfPack's leading scorer with 28 points, marking the sophomore's second-highest scoring game of the season. The Milwaukee, Wisconsin, native was 11 of 17 from the field with four 3-pointers and a pair of free throws. Addison also collected a team-best four steals.

First year forward Adam Anhold posted 22 points after converting 8 of 14 shots and was a perfect 6 for 6 at the charity stripe. The fifth-straight 20-plus scoring performance for the transfer from Bemidji State University was accompanied by a team-leading nine rebounds and three blocked shots.

Nathaniel Buss, a sophomore guard from Verona, Wisconsin, also knocked down four shots from beyond the arc en route to 21 points as he finished 6 for 12 overall and was 5 for 7 at the line. Buss matched fellow second year guard Sean Suchomel for team-high honors with three assists.

Madison College shot 49% (35-71) for the game and made ten 3-pointers for the fifth time this season, doing so on 21 attempts to post a 47.6% from distance. They also finished 14 of 19 (73.7%) at the free throw line. Thanks to their impressive ball control, the WolfPack scored a 19-0 advantage in points off turnovers, while the Kougars narrowly owned the points in the paint (+4) and second chance points (+5).
