Ashton’s free throws help N Iowa top S Illinois 58-57

January 22nd, 2017 by Ric Hanson

CARBONDALE, Ill. (AP) — Jordan Ashton scored 14 points, including a pair of free throw with 15 seconds left, and Northern Iowa overcame a 12-point second-half deficit to beat Southern Illinois 58-57 on Saturday night.

Ashton scored 10 of his 14 in the second half for Northern Iowa (8-11, 3-5 Missouri Valley) and was perfect from the field (3 of 3), the arc (2 of 2) and the free-throw line (2 of 2) in the final 20 minutes.

Trailing 54-42 with 8:23 remaining, the Panthers outscored Southern Illinois 12-1 over the next seven minutes to close it to 55-54. A dunk by Thik Bol with 1:21 left to play put the Salukis in front by three, 57-54, but a layup from Klint Carlson and Ashton’s free throws gave Northern Iowa a 58-57 lead with 15 seconds left.

Northern Iowa led 27-26 at halftime, but the Salukis used an 11-2 run to take a 36-29 lead with 16:50 remaining and eventually pushed the lead to lead to 12. Armon Fletcher had 16 points and six rebounds for Southern Illinois (11-10, 4-4).

 

Exira-EHK falls to Johnson-Brock NE in MAC Shootout make-up game

Sports

January 21st, 2017 by admin

The Johnson-Brock Eagles travelled to Elk Horn to face the Exira-EHK Spartans on Saturday afternoon in a game that was rescheduled after weather cancelled their meeting at the MAC Shootout in Council Bluffs. After a slow start the Eagles used a strong second and third quarters to pull away and beat the Spartans 73-61.  Exira-EHK got off to an early lead and had a four point advantage after one but the Eagles would roar back with a three point barrage in the second quarter to lead by as many as nine before the Spartans inched closer at the half 37-34. Johnson-Brock then outscored the Spartans 17-10 in the third quarter to give them a comfortable lead down the stretch.

The game was originally scheduled to be played as part of the Jennie Ed Sports Med MAC Shootout in Council Bluffs but icy weather forced the cancellation of the end of that event.  The two schools worked out the make-up meeting.

Ty Hahn led Johsnon-Brock with 23 points and Trey Stutheit dropped in 14 for the Eagles. They came into the game 9-4 on the season and of course the cross-state battle doesn’t impact either teams records for state purposes.

The Spartans were led by Sophomore guard Cole Burmeister with 20 points and Senior Drew Buckholdt had 15.  The Spartans record coming into the meeting was 10-3. The Spartans will next face CAM at home on Monday.

January 21st, 2017 by Ric Hanson

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) – Deonte Burton scored a career high 31 points, and Iowa State rallied to beat Oklahoma 92-87 in double overtime on Saturday afternoon. Naz Mitrou-Long scored 20 points and Monte Morris added 19 for the Cyclones (12-6, 4-3 Big 12), who overcame a 19-point deficit in the first half to snap a two-game losing skid.

Jordan Woodard scored all 21 of his points after halftime, Kameron McGusty scored 19 points and Kristian Doolittle added 15 points and a career-high 15 rebounds for the Sooners (8-10, 2-5), who were coming off an overtime win over No. 7 West Virginia on Wednesday.

Oklahoma ran out to a 14-2 lead to start the game and led 28-9 before Iowa State went on a 10-0 run to close the gap. The Cyclones led 30-29 at halftime, and the teams traded leads the rest of the way.

UP NEXT: Iowa State hosts Kansas State on Tuesday. The Wildcats had been on a skid before getting a win at Oklahoma State on Wednesday. Oklahoma plays at Texas on Monday. The Longhorns are on a 5-game losing streak.
