brings the ball upcourt against Ryan Keating in Concordia's 69-52 loss to St. John's in the semifinals of the MIAC tournament. |
2/22 Concordia Stumbles in 2nd Half at St. John's 69-52.
Concordia was outscored 52-36 in the second half, and lost 69-52 to St. John's in the semifinals of the MIAC Tournament. The Cobbers trailed by only one at halftime 17-16, but couldn't shut the Johnnies down in the second half and lost by 17. Troy Bigalke, a candidate for MIAC MVP, led St. John's with 20 points. Joe Snowden (Sr., St. Paul, MN) was the high scorer for the Cobbers with 16, and Kermit Copper (Sr., Freeport, BAH) pulled down a game-high 17 rebounds and added 9 points.
The turning point in the game came with just over nine minutes left in the game. Concordia (15-11) trimmed the lead to five and forced St. John's (20-5) into consecutive errant shots, only to give up the offensive rebounds and have the putbacks drop through. The lead was pushed back to nine, and that would be as close as the Cobbers would come the rest of the game.
Both teams struggled in the first half, scoring a combined 33 points and shooting 26 percent (14-for-54) from the field. The half turned into a physical struggle for offensive position, as both teams tried to adjust to the freedom given by the officials. Concordia committed 12 turnovers in the half and St. John's gave the ball away 10 times.
St. John's turned up the offensive pressure in the second half and started to find the range from the field as they shot 53 percent (16-for-30) in the deciding 20 minutes. Concordia struggled in the early part of the half and found themselves trailing by as many as 12, before they started to make a run midway through the half. The Cobbers cut the gap to five before the two Johnnie offensive putbacks stuck a knife in Concordia's comeback hopes.
