The Chadron State College men’s basketball team had a narrow escape Saturday night, but created enough turnovers and turned them into enough points to edge South Dakota Mines 70-67 in an important Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference contest in Rapid City.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Eagles are now 12-8 for the season and 9-5 in the conference, good for fifth in the RMAC standings.&nbsp; Mines falls to 6-14 and 5-9.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Hardrockers shot 53.7% (29-54) and the Eagles 44.4% (28-63) from the field. Each team made five 3-pointers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; While Mines out-rebounded the visitors 33-21, Chadron State was credited with 10 steals, which were a big chunk of the 15 turnovers that the Hardrockers committed.&nbsp; The stat-keepers calculated that the turnovers led to 18 points for the Eagles, who turned the ball over just twice and neither of them was converted into points.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Eagles’ led 68-67 with four seconds left when the last of the steals/turnovers occurred. Forward Josh Robinson came away with the ball, was fouled and made both free throws to wrap up the scoring.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Slow starts in both halves nearly doomed the Eagles, but to their credit, they found a way to pull out the victory.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; South Dakota Mines owned a 23-11 lead with 8 ½ minutes left in the opening half, but the Eagles had closed the gap to 30-26 by halftime. MJ Foust came off the bench to score the Eagles’ final three field goals of the half.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Hardrockers were ahead by 10 points three times in the second half, and were on top 53-46 with 10 minutes remaining before the Eagles, who had never previously led, went on an 11-0 run.&nbsp; Mines retook the lead at 63-61 with 3:08 remaining, but a 3-pointer by Isaiah Wyatt and baskets by Bryce Latimer and Robinson, along with Robinson’s late steal and two free shots, clinched the verdict.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Latimer, the Eagles’ sparkplug off the bench, led the visitors with 18 points. Both Foust and Robinson scored 14 and Wyatt added 12.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Brevin Walter, a 6-4 sophomore, paced Mines with 21 points, Senior Kolten Mortensen, who made three 3-pointers, was close behind with 19.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Eagles will be at home Tuesday night to host Colorado Christian.&nbsp;

Chadron State—Bryce Latimer 18, MJ Foust 14, Josh Robinson 14, Isaiah Wyatt 12, Jarrett Taylor 6, Marcus Jefferson 5, Martin Poznanovic 1. Totals: 28-63 (5-20) 9-13 70 points, 21 rebounds, 2 turnovers.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Ty Berry made six 3-pointers and scored 26 points, Boo Buie added 17 points and Northwestern beat Nebraska 78-63 on Wednesday night.

It was the second of three games in five days for Northwestern (14-5, 5-3 Big Ten), which had two games postponed last week due to a COVID-19 pause. The Wildcats play Minnesota on Saturday.

Northwestern closed the first half by scoring the final 10 points, with 3-pointers from Berry and Buie, to build a 43-30 lead. The Wildcats pulled away midway through the second half on a 12-3 run for a 63-40 lead.

Chase Audige had 15 points and Matthew Nicholson added eight for Northwestern. The Wildcats beat Nebraska for the seventh straight time — doing so against a Big Ten opponent for the first time since 1958-62.

Keisei Tominaga led Nebraska (10-11, 3-7) with 22 points. Jamarques Lawrence, in his first career start, added 12. Tominaga scored 15 of Nebraska’s opening 19 points, and his pass to Lawrence in the corner for an open 3-pointer tied it at 22.

Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg announced Monday Emmanuel Bandoumel will require surgery and miss the rest of the season after injuring a knee in a game over the weekend. Bandoumel, a fifth-year guard who transferred from SMU, started all 20 games for the Huskers and was averaging 8.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals per game.

Bandoumel is the second Nebraska starter in two weeks to suffer a season-ending injury. Juwan Gary is out with a shoulder injury.

After having its home dual against Colorado Mesa scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 19 postponed because of blocked highways linking Colorado and Nebraska, the Chadron State College wrestling team ended the week on a high note during the Midwest Duals on Saturday.

The Eagles, who are 23rd&nbsp;in the Division II Wrestling Coaches rankings released last week, initially defeated No. 17 ranked Fort Hays State 32-15, pretty well held their own against top-ranked Central Oklahoma before losing 25-14. The team then rolled past the Newman Jets from Kansas 39-6.

Senior&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/wrestling/roster/ethan-leake/8496">Ethan Leake</a>, the Californian who qualified the DII National Finals last year, won all three of his 141-pound matches—two of them by pins and the other by a 12-6 decision—to lead the Eagles.&nbsp; He's now 13-5 for the season.

Quen Campbell, the Georgia native who transferred to CSC last fall and is ranked No. 2 at 133 pounds by the coaches association despite missing several matches because of an injury, won both of this matches. He pinned his Fort Hays State rival and blanked his Newman foe 5-0 to raise his season record to 11-1.

Campbell did not take the mat against Central Oklahoma's nationally-ranked 133-pounder as it is&nbsp;not unusual for coaches to withhold their standouts during what could be described as somewhat "unimportant matches" when there's a chance they'll collide during the National Tournament when the stakes will be much higher.

The Eagles, however, won the 133-pound match against Central Oklahoma, with Colter Jillian of Kemmerer, Wyo., defeating Garrett Steidley 10-3.

Another of CSC's winners vs. Central Oklahoma was senior&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/wrestling/roster/preston-renner/4525">Preston Renner</a>&nbsp;of Broomfield, Colo., who won the 165-pound bout after Ty Lucas took a medical forfeit midway in the first period. Ty Lucas is a two-time All-American at 157 pounds for the Bronchos and is Dylan's older brother.

Renner, who did not compete during the first semester because of injury, also scored a 10-2 victory over his Fort Hays State opponent and received a forfeit from Newman to join Leake with a 3-0 record at Midwest Duals.

CSC's&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/wrestling/roster/brody-lamb/8495">Brody Lamb</a>&nbsp;of Wellington, Colo., who also was recovering from an injury the first semester, has returned to action recently, did not take the mat against Central Oklahoma, but won both of his other 157-pound matches Saturday.&nbsp;

Heavyweight&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/wrestling/roster/mason-watt/4531">Mason Watt</a>&nbsp;of Broomfield, Colo., went 2-1.&nbsp; He won a 15-5 major decision over his Fort Hays opponent and pinned his Newman rival in less than a minute.&nbsp; His third match was a close. Braden Morgan of Central Oklahoma won 4-2 in overtime.&nbsp; Watt is 10-3 for the season and is among the Eagles that Coach&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/wrestling/roster/coaches/brett-hunter/541">Brett Hunter</a>&nbsp;is hoping will become a national qualifier when CSC hosts the Super Region 6 Championships in about a month.&nbsp;&nbsp;

In addition, sophomore&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/wrestling/roster/quade-smith/8504">Quade Smith</a>&nbsp;of Layton, Utah, and freshman&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/wrestling/roster/brandon-paredes/8602">Brandon Paredes</a>&nbsp;of Tucson, Ariz., finished the duals with 2-1 records, losing only close matches to Central Oklahoma entries.

🏀 RMAC Men's Standings - CSC continues to hold playoff spot

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska's Emmanuel Bandoumel will require surgery and miss the rest of the season after injuring his knee in a game over the weekend, coach Fred Hoiberg announced Monday.

Bandoumel's knee buckled as he drove to the basket in the first half of the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/sports-penn-state-nittany-lions-nebraska-cornhuskers-seth-lundy-camren-wynter-b040cbc4bc1d0e4be6ce2de10f42be19">Cornhuskers' 76-65 loss</a>&nbsp;Saturday to Penn State. He is the second Nebraska starter in two weeks to sustain a season-ending injury. Juwan Gary is out with a shoulder injury.

Bandoumel, a fifth-year guard who transferred from SMU, started all 20 games for the Huskers (10-10, 3-6 Big Ten) and was averaging 8.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals per game.

“I am heartbroken for Emmanuel to have his college career end this way,” Hoiberg said. “I’ve said all season that Emmanuel is one of the best defenders in the country, and he impacts the game in so many ways beyond the measurables."

Bandoumel had started 84 consecutive games since his first season at SMU. He played 100 Division I games and totaled 880 points, 351 rebounds and 160 assists during three seasons at SMU and one season at Nebraska. He began his career at Hill College in 2018-19.

(AP) — Nebraska's Emmanuel Bandoumel will require surgery and miss the rest of the season after injuring his knee in a game over the weekend, coach Fred Hoiberg announced Monday.Bandoumel's knee buckled as he drove to the basket in the first half of the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/sports-penn-state-nittany-lions-nebraska-cornhuskers-seth-lundy-camren-wynter-b040cbc4bc1d0e4be6ce2de10f42be19">Cornhuskers' 76-65 loss</a>&nbsp;Saturday to Penn State. He is the second Nebraska starter in two weeks to sustain a season-ending injury. Juwan Gary is out with a shoulder injury.Bandoumel, a fifth-year guard who transferred from SMU, started all 20 games for the Huskers (10-10, 3-6 Big Ten) and was averaging 8.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals per game.“I am heartbroken for Emmanuel to have his college career end this way,” Hoiberg said. “I’ve said all season that Emmanuel is one of the best defenders in the country, and he impacts the game in so many ways beyond the measurables."Bandoumel had started 84 consecutive games since his first season at SMU. He played 100 Division I games and totaled 880 points, 351 rebounds and 160 assists during three seasons at SMU and one season at Nebraska. He began his career at Hill College in 2018-19.

Huskers lose second starter to season-ending enjury

&nbsp;Athena Saragoza, a 5-foot-8 sophomore, hit her first four shots, all of them 3-pointers, while providing the Regis women’s basketball team with a 12-4 lead Saturday afternoon in the Chicoine Center.

In retrospect, that was about the only spectacular thing the Rangers did. &nbsp;But, as much as anything, it led to their 71-58 victory over the host Chadron State Eagles in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference contest.

The Denver team is now 13-5 for the season and 10-2 in the RMAC, while Colorado Mines is 11-2 and Black Hills State 9-2 to make up the top three quintets in the conference with about a third of the season remaining.

Although Saragoza made another trey in the second quarter to give her 15 points at halftime, she was pretty much a non-entity the rest of the game. She seldom touched the ball again and took just two more shots in the second half, made one of them and finished with 17 points.&nbsp;&nbsp;

As the final score indicates, the Eagles pretty well matched the Rangers’ point production following Saragoza’s opening spree.

Regis led 19-13 at the end of the first quarter.&nbsp; Chadron State got within two-points at 26-24 midway in the second quarter, but never completely caught up. The Rangers led 36-28 at halftime.

The third quarter was a slow one for the hosts.&nbsp; They got almost no “good” looks and made only two of 10 field goal attempts while falling behind 49-35 heading into the fourth stanza.&nbsp;

The Eagles cut the margin to 59-52 midway in the fourth, but were outscored 12-6 the rest of the way even though Emily Achter and Liberty Line hit CSC’s only 3-pointers of the game in the final 2 ½ minutes.

For the game, Regis connected on 26 of 50 field goal attempts and were eight of 18 from behind the arc while the Eagles were 24 of 57 from the field and just two of 15 from long range. Regis had 32 rebounds, one more than CSC.&nbsp; Both teams had 19 turnovers and were called for 19 fouls.

Saragoza’s 17 points led her team in scoring while three teammates—Erin Fry with 13, Sam Deem with 12 and Josey Ryan with 11—also scored in double digits.&nbsp;

Eagles’ standout Shay Power was the game’s high scorer with 21 points and high rebounder with eight. Next on the CSC scoring list were center Riley Aioni and alternate guard Kadyn Comer with seven points apiece.

Regis—Athena Saragoza 17, Erin Fry 13, Sam Deem 12, Josey Ryan 11, Erin Stroberg 8, Kyla Frenchers 6, Morgan Smith 4. Totals: 26-50 (8-18) 11-18 71 points, 32 rebounds, 19 turnovers.

🏀WBB: Saragoza's early three-point barrage sinks Eagles

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;For the second night in a row, the Chadron State College men’s basketball team was exceptional at both ends of the floor and defeated another primary challenger for a place in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference playoffs by a wide margin.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; After downing Colorado-Colorado Springs 78-56 on Friday night, the Eagles beat the Regis Rangers 94-71 Saturday night.&nbsp; They made 37 of 57 (65%) field goal attempts and limited the visitors to only 46.6% from the field, and just 34.6% in the first half, when Chadron State built a 43-28 lead.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The twin wins improved the Eagles’ overall record to 11-8 overall and 8-5 in the conference.&nbsp; Both CSC and Colorado Springs were 7-5 after the Friday night game had been played and Regis was 5-6 entering Saturday night’s contest.&nbsp; The UCCS Mountain Lions also lost to Colorado Christian 74-64 in Denver on Saturday night.

&nbsp;Therefore, the two weekend victories improves the Eagles’ grip on fifth place in the RMAC with nine games remaining on CSC regular season schedule.

The Eagles did not start well against Regis.&nbsp; Coach Shane Paben noted that his team initially didn’t focused and turned the ball over seven times almost before they had seven points.&nbsp; But after the Rangers led 8-7 through the first five minutes, Chadron State went on a 20-5 run and never looked back.

Bryce Latimer, who is listed at 5-10 but may be smaller, provided a great spark off the bench.&nbsp; He initially made a layup and soon stole the ball that he fed to teammate MJ Foust for a resounding dunk that put CSC ahead 21-13.

During the final 8 ½ minutes of the opening half, Latimer hit five more field goals, most of them driving layups after going one-on-one with a defender, to finish the half with 13 points.

&nbsp; That was just the start.&nbsp; While he remained on the bench during the first four minutes of the second half, he finished it with 20 more points while making seven of 10 field goals shots and all six of his free shots.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; His 33 points are the most a CSC player has scored since Zac Bargen hit that total in a double overtime game in 10 years ago. Paben called Latimer’s performance “the Bryce Latimer show,” noting that the Stone Mountain, Georgia, native definitely showed off his quickness and ability to finish while going to the basket.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; With Latimer leading the way, the Eagles made 18 of 27 field goal attempts in the first half and 19 of 30 in the second half.&nbsp; They were not as accurate as usual from 3-point range, making just four of 12, but made 16 of 19 free throws.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Josh Robinson was the Eagles’ second high scorer with 14 points and Jarrett Taylor was two-of-three from long distance while adding 11 points. Both Porter Anderson and Isaiah Wyatt chipped in with nine and Marcus Jefferson had eight.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Aaron Bokol, a 6-5 senior, paced Regis with 18 points, 6-9 Brayden Carter posted 15 and Eddy Egun 10.&nbsp; With Jefferson defending him most of the time, David Simental, the Rangers’ scoring leader for the season with a 15-point average, did not score until midway in the second half and finished with eight points.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Eagles’ next game will be Saturday, Jan. 28 at South Dakota Mines in Rapid City.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Regis—Aaron Bokol 18, Brayden Carter 15, Eddy Egun 10, David Simental 8, CJ Reed 8, Jasdeep Singh 4, Vojin Mastilovic 3, Aaron Ofstun 3, Aidan Sevilla 2. Totals: 27-58 (1-13) 16-23 71 points, 28 rebounds, 17 turnovers.&nbsp;

Chadron State wins third in a row with rout of Regis Saturday

While playing what Coach&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/coaches/shane-paben/551">Shane Paben</a>&nbsp;called "our most complete game," the Chadron State College men's basketball team defeated the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs 78-56 on the Eagles' home court Friday night.

"I can't say enough about how well we played tonight," Paben stated.&nbsp; And, while the Eagles shot 53.3% from the field, he primarily talked about the defense during his post-game radio show.

"We took away their transition game, kept them in front of us and didn't let them get many good looks on 3-pointers.&nbsp; I was proud how well we played," the coach commented.

This was the same team that beat Chadron State 91-63 in Colorado Springs on January 3. So, the Eagles undoubtedly were seeking a little revenge.&nbsp; Although, the Mountain Lions jumped out to a 7-3 lead in the first three minutes, the Eagles were ahead the remainder of the game, including 46-29 at halftime.

<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/jarrett-taylor/8929">Jarrett Taylor</a>&nbsp;sank a 3-pointer for CSC's first points.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/isaiah-wyatt/8518">Isaiah Wyatt</a>&nbsp;scored the next 14 to give the Eagles a 17-9 lead with after six minutes had been played.&nbsp; Wyatt was the game's leading scorer with 20 points.&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/josh-robinson/8517">Josh Robinson</a>&nbsp;tallied 15 and was the game's leading rebounder with 11, for his sixth double-double of the season. Taylor sank three more treys to also finish in double figures with 12 points.

In addition,&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/porter-anderson/8506">Porter Anderson</a>&nbsp;added 9 points and both&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/marcus-jefferson/4653">Marcus Jefferson</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/mj-foust/8511">MJ Foust</a>&nbsp;scored eight. All three shot just four times and they combined to sink 11 of the 12.

Paben also was pleased that his team had just two turnovers in the first half, and finished with 18 assists, eight of them by Jefferson, and had only eight total turnovers.

Mac Stodart, a 6-foot-8 native of New Zealand paced the visitors with 15 points.&nbsp; No one else scored more than seven for the Lions.&nbsp; All told, they shot 43% from the field and were four of 18 from 3-point range. Stodart made three of the treys.

Both teams are now 7-5 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.&nbsp; The Eagles will host the Regis Rangers Saturday evening.&nbsp; Regis defeated Colorado Christian 81-69 Friday night in Denver.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Colorado-Colorado Springs—Mac Stodart 15, Jayden Washington 7, Beni Fungula 6, David Jabedo 6, Sufyan Elkanna 6, Jon'll Fugett 4, Logan Bracamonte 4, Keegan Phillips 4, Noah Baca 2, Jezza McKenzie 2.

Chadron State gets victory in "most complete game" of season

Back-to-back 3-pointers by Chadron State's senior guard&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/samiyah-worrell/8407">Samiyah Worrell</a>&nbsp;in the final 48 seconds were not quite enough as Colorado-Colorado Springs' Agar Farres sank three free throws in the final 33 seconds that kept her team in the lead for a 58-57 victory in Chadron on Friday night.

After breaking out to a 18-5 lead in the first quarter, when the Mountain Lions made just two of 18 field goal shots, Chadron State was ahead all the way until the visitors' Rylie Ottmann broke a 45-45 deadlock by making a layup with five minutes remaining.

The Eagles never got the lead back, but the second of Worrell's treys made the difference just 57-56 with 24 seconds remaining.&nbsp; After that, both Farres and Worrell made one free throw and missed the second.&nbsp;

Colorado Springs turned the ball over with 5 seconds still showing.&nbsp; The Eagles called a time out to set up a final shot.&nbsp; It was a running jumper from about 15-feet. It was close but didn't connect.

Both teams made 21 field goals, but the Mountain Lions hit six treys compared to the Eagles' three, enough to barely offset Chadron State's 12-10 advantage at the free throw line.

Worrell's 16 points led all scorers.&nbsp; Shay Powers added 15 and&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/riley-aiono/8392">Riley Aiono</a>&nbsp;10 for the Eagles. Jessica Nation scored 12 points, Maison White 11 and Farres 10 for Colorado Springs.&nbsp;

The Eagles hurt themselves by turning the ball over 28 times, a dozen more than the visitors. The statkeepers calculated that the Lions scored 26 points off of the CSC turnovers.&nbsp;

Chadron State will host Regis starting at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The Rangers downed Colorado Christian 92-66 in Denver on Friday night.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

CSC wrestling dual with Mesa postponed due to closed roads

Six Chadron State College players scored in double-figures Saturday night when the Eagles defeated Adams State 92-80 in a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference men’s basketball game in Chadron.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Both teams shot extra well.&nbsp; The Eagles were 35 of 56 for 56.5% from the field and Adams State was 32 of 56 for 57.1%&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Adams State scored on its first eight possessions while jumping out to a 17-9 lead.&nbsp; But the Eagles tallied the next nine points to take their first lead.&nbsp; There would be six more lead changes and seven ties before guard Bryce Latimer hit a running floater in the paint to give CSC a 50-48 halftime edge.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There were six more lead changes and two ties in the first five minutes of the second half before the Chadron State went ahead for keeps on Isaiah Wyatt’s 3-pointer.&nbsp; The final 12-point margin was the game’s largest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; CSC Coach Shane Paben said he was pleased that his team shot so well.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; “It was nice to see the ball go through the hoop so well,” Paben noted.&nbsp; “Adams State also shot well, so maybe our defense wasn’t the best, but it was great to get the victory. I thought we played well.”

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The win broke the Eagles’ four-game losing streak and puts them above the .500 mark again for both the season at 9-8 and the conference at 6-5.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Forward Josh Robinson with 20 points on 10 of 13 shooting led the Eagles. He was followed by Latimer with 16, center Porter Anderson with 14, followed by Wyatt with 12, MJ Foust with 11 and Pat McLachlan with 10.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Grizzlies were led by 6-7 Isaiah Sampson with 26 points, 19 of them in the first half.&nbsp; Next were guards Maison Adeleye with 18 and Kolby Walker with 14.&nbsp; Adams State is now 3-14 overall and 1-10 in the conference, but obviously can score some points.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Eagles will be at home again this coming weekend to host Colorado-Colorado Springs and Regis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Adams State—Isaiah Sampson 26, Maison Adeleye 18, Kolby Walker 14, Sterling Benjamin 9, Alex Hurr 6, Luke Williams 5, Kaleb Mitchell 2. Totals: 32-56 (8-20) 8-10 80 points, 30 rebounds, 17 turnovers.

Eagles give strong challenge to solid Adams State squad

After a nip-and-tuck contest that included 10 ties and 10 lead changes, the Adams State women’s basketball team scored 13 of the final 15 points while downing Chadron State 74-66 in a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference game played in Chadron Saturday evening.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Chadron State led 64-61 with 2 minutes and 10 seconds remaining, when the Grizzlies took control.&nbsp; Their leading scorer, Kiiyani Anitielu, a 5-7 freshman who finished with 18 points, was a ringleader down the stretch. She began the rally by cashing in an old-fashioned 3-point play that tied the score at 64 and made all four of her free throws as time was running out.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Eagles had a 49-47 lead going into the fourth period. Both teams shot 50% from the field during that frame, but Adams State made eight baskets, one more than the Eagles.&nbsp; Both sank two 3-pointers, but the Grizzlies made all eight of their free throws and Chadron State was just one of seven at the line in the quarter to spell much of the difference.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Adams State also got 14 points from Angelline Nageak and 10 from Harmainie Dominquez. Chadron State was led by Shay Powers with 19 points while Samiyah Worrell added 14 and Kyra Tanabe 12.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Powers sank nine of 12 shots from the field Saturday, and finished the weekend by making 20 of 24 field goal attempts after hitting 11 of 12 while ringing up 27 points during the Eagles’ 66-61 win over Fort Lewis on Friday night.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Saturday’s win improved Adams State’s record to 12-5 overall and 8-3 in the RMAC.&nbsp; Following the weekend split, the Eagles are 3-14 and 3-8.&nbsp; They’ll host Colorado-Colorado Springs and Regis this coming weekend.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Adams State—Kilyani Anitielu 18, Angeline Negeak 14, Harmainie Dominguez 10, Taylar Dossey 7, Nyeniea John 6, Darlisha Reed 6, Sharmayne Finley 6, Elaina Watson 4, Riahana Davis 3.&nbsp; Totals: 28-65 (3-14) 15-19 74 points, 36 rebounds, 12 turnovers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Chadron State—Shay Powers 19, Samiyah Worrell 14, Kyra Tanabe 12, Awoti Akoi 10, Allison Olsen 6, Claudia Dollinger 2, Elle Ravenscroft 2, Emily Achter 1. Totals: 26-59 (6-18) 8-16 66 points, 38 rebounds, 16 turnovers.
