The Fort Hays State Tigers hit 10 of their final 12 shots in the first half to build a 21-point halftime lead and go on for an 85-50 win over Bethany College Tuesday night at Gross Coliseum.

The Tigers shot 57-percent in the first half despite missing 10 straight 3-point attempts, and finish hitting 50-percent from the floor for the game.
