In the first half, the Jack's would lead by 3-4 points for a lot of the half until a 16-3 Bismarck State run would put them up by as much as nine at 24-15. From this point DCB would chip away, outscoring their opponents 27-16 the last eight minutes of the half to take a 42-40 lead at the break. In the first half we shot 44% from the field and 6-15 from three. BSC shot 46% from the field and 6-14 from three. Both teams hit four of six from the line.
In the second half neither team got anything more than a four point lead as it seemed every time there was a lead up to four someone would hit a three. For us it was JJ Morris and Phil Lee, for the Mystics it was Scott Nagel. The last minute the lead would get to five, however as always in conference season it was far from over as another Nagel three this time a leaner would cut it to two with under 45 seconds to go. However, we would hit our free-throws down the stretch and would hold on for the win.
Louis Williams led the way with 23 points, eight rebounds, four assists, and two blocks. Morris added 21 points, going 6-11 from three, adding eight assists, and four steals. Lee added 16, while Eric Elliott added 15 points, with six rebounds, four assists, and eight steals. Nagel led BSC with 23 points.
"It was a great team win, as everyone from 1-12 contributed in some way. We need to keep up this momentum in order to make a run at our first goal, a Mon-Dak title."
We are next in action on Thursday when we travel to Bismarck to face division two rivals, United Tribes Technical College.
