Notes:

The 14 treys delivered Friday by The Rock were double its previous single-game high this winter. SRU nailed seven long-range shots in each of three previous games and was shooting 33% from beyond the arc prior to Friday … Timothy was 5-of-15 on 3-point shots in the first nine games this winter ... Friday's game marked the second time this winter, the third time in six meetings with Ohio University Eastern and the seventh time in Reynolds' four seasons as head coach at The Rock scored 100 or more points in a game … SRU is 6-0 all-time against Ohio University Eastern with an average winning margin of 41 points (101-60) … Reynolds needs two wins to tie Dave Rooney (1979-85) for fourth place on SRU's career wins chart ... Friday's game was only the second played by The Rock since Dec. 10 due to SRU fall-semester final exams and the NCAA-mandated "down period" from Dec. 20-26 ... The Rock continues its five-game homestand Jan. 6 and 7 with back-to-back Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference "crossover" games against Cheyney and Shippensburg, then entertains Lock Haven in the PSAC-Western Division opener Jan. 11.
