Video Box Score

Randolph Center,VT: Vermont State University Randolph picked up an 88–68 home win over NHTI on January 20, 2026. Randolph built an early cushion with a strong offensive first half, yet NHTI consistently challenged that lead by attacking off the bounce and finishing through contact. Their guards were aggressive downhill, forcing Randolph to defend in space and adjust throughout the night.

Jaylon Calvin anchored the Randolph offense with a standout performance, finishing with 32 points, 12 rebounds, and 9 assists. He controlled the tempo, repeatedly getting into the paint, creating scoring chances, and making the right reads when help came. Jaden Clark added a steady presence with 17 points and 11 rebounds, while Shandon J-D Anderson chipped in 15 points to help Randolph answer NHTI runs. Randolph's ability to get to the free-throw line and convert down the stretch helped maintain separation in the second half.

Despite the margin on the scoreboard, the game demanded focus and discipline from Randolph throughout. NHTI's consistent dribble penetration and crafty finishes kept pressure on the defense and forced Randolph to stay engaged on every possession. While there were moments to clean up, Randolph responded with composure, trusted its offensive execution, and finished the game with control. The ability to absorb those challenges and still close out the win spoke to the team's growth and resilience as conference play continues.
