It may have taken the Quincy University men's basketball team a few minutes at the start of the game but in the end the #24 ranked Hawks rolled to another win in typical fashion as they cruised to an 89-60 win over Truman State University at home in game two of the Quincy University/Subway Holiday Tournament.
The game was tied at 17-17 at the 11:27 mark of the first-half when the Hawks went on a 13-2 run to pull away from the Bulldogs.
