With four players in double figures last night, our team jumped out to an early 14 point halftime lead, and held on for an 88-67 road victory at Minot State.
Jordan Olson and Ryan Thompson led the way for us, and both poured in 20 points. Olson added 8 rebounds while Thompson (who was perfect from the 3 point line, going 4-4) had 6 assists. Kyle Iverson added a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds, while Jake Holen had 13 points and 3 assists.
Our defensive effort showed tonight, as we held Minot to only 30 points in the first half, and to 17 points under their season average. Our team lit up the nets on the offensive end, by shooting 50% from the field, 42% from the 3-pt line and 91% from the FT line. We also had only 1 turnover in the 2nd half.
We now have sole possesion of 1st place in our conference with a 9-2 record. Our overall record has improved to 19-6.
We now will play our final 3 games of the regular season at home, in the friendly confines of the Jamestown Civic Center. We will face SD Tech on Friday night at 7:30pm and Black Hills State on Saturday at 6:00pm (we'll honor our senior's before the game). Our final home game will be Wednesday, February 20th against Valley City State at 7:30pm.
