NAIA Morning Bullets: NCAA D2 Win, Conference Games, Buzzer Beaters, and More…

By naiahoopsreport_admin November 14, 2019 0 Comments

Good morning NAIA hoops fans! As you’re sipping on your coffee this morning let us catch you up on what is happening around the NAIA Hoops world!

Clarke (IA) last night got an exhibition win over NCAA D2 Winona State. The cool part about that win, is that even though it wont count on Clarke’s record, Winona actually scheduled the game from their side as an actual game. Darius Lasley with a 16 point, 17 rebound game. Which would be a nice night for a big man, except for hes just 6’2!! Clarke will open up Heart of America Conference play this Saturday, when they travel to Missouri Valley.

Great win. Played tough and together. Everyone stepped up and helped us get it done. Looking forward to building on it with conference play coming up. @DariusLasley_3 with a monster stat line – 16 points on 10 shots, 17 rebounds, 4 assists, and zero turnovers. #RollPride https://t.co/4BhjOZeZEE

There were 21 Conference games last night. 11 of those 21 were less then 10 point ball games, and 5 of them were decided by 1 possession, including a couple buzzer beaters!

WHAT. A. FINISH!

Road wins are always tough. Conference road wins are even tougher! #6 Dakota Wesleyan leaned on All-American Ty Hoglund, who got the buzzer beater to go, to get a big conference road win over #25 Dordt!
Ottawa (KS) got a big 89-87 home win over #7 Oklahoma Wesleyan.

We talked yesterday about one of the oldest rivalries in NAIA being the one between Jamestown (ND), and Valley City St. (ND). It was a great game, but the Jamestown Jimmies were able to find some separation late in the game on their way to the win.

FINAL:

Jimmies – 85
Valley City – 75

Jimmies improve to 6-1 with the rivalry game win & season sweep! Thanks to all the fans for making the drive over to the bubble. We are back on the road again on Saturday for our first #GPAC game against Doane!#GoJimmies | #Team327 pic.twitter.com/cPOO0PxLv2
