The Skyhawks winning streak started against Windy City weeks ago when they found their spark for a late-season push for the playoffs.

College Park did what they had to do on their business trip in Illinois. They secured the sixth spot in the Eastern Conference playoff standings.

It was easy work for the Skyhawks in the first half of the game. College Park pushed the pace, got easy shots at the rim, and had great offensive production.

The Skyhawks had an eleven-point lead at halftime, 66-55. They were shooting 56% from the field and had three players in double figures.

Marcus Georges-Hunt led College Park in the first half with 15 points and eight rebounds. Cat Barber added 13 points and seven assists. Meanwhile, Justin Tillman had his way in the paint with 12 points and five rebounds at halftime.

Tillman led the Skyhawks with 22 points and 11 rebounds. It is Tillman’s 18th game with at least 20 points and 10 rebounds this season.

All five of the Skyhawks starters were in double figures.

Barber was a menace to the Bulls. He recorded a double-double early in the third quarter with 15 points and ten assists. Barber finished with 28 points and 14 assists.

The Skyhawks have three games left of the regular season. They host the Lakeland Magic at the Gateway Center Arena at College Park at 7 p.m. ET. Tuesday, March 29. The game can be watched live on ESPN+ and Peachtree TV.
