by Joel Worthington

SAVANNAH, Ga. - The Lane College men's basketball team took park in the second round of the 2023 TIAA SIAC Basketball Tournament presented by Cricket on Monday after receiving an opening round bye.

The Dragons jumped on Clark Atlanta early when Justin Sylver drilled a pull up jumper just eight seconds in to the game. Lane would lead from tip-off to final whistle as the margin grew to as many as 20 points en route to a 73-61 win over the Panthers.

Kelvin Allen led all scorers with 19 points while pulling in six rebounds. Sylver finished with 14 points and six boards while Maximillion Bell chipped in 11 points. 

Jesse Payne had 10 points to go along with four steals and three assists.

Lane moves on to the quarterfinals where they will take on Morehouse College. The Dragons dropped a close one to the Maroon Tigers in December, 66-64. The game will be played on Wednesday night with tip-off scheduled for 7:30 PM EST.

All games throughout the tournament can be streamed via the web, smartphones, tablets, and connected devices on the ESPN+ app. A replay of the championship round will be available on ESPNU on March 5, with the women's championship re-airing at 8 a.m. ET and the men's championship at 10 a.m. ET.
