Lincoln 76,
Northern Iowa Community College 74
Comments: "Lincoln was
leading at the half 41-29 and had a about a 16-point lead through
the middle of the second half. You have to give NICC credit as they
went on a great run to go up six with a couple minutes left. The Lynx
were able to go up two with 20 seconds left. However, NICC hit two
free throws with five seconds left. We were able to get a timeout to
set up a play. NICC came out in a full-court man. As the inbounds
pass was thrown to half court, a NICC defender was able to tip the
ball towards their basket; however, Cortez Augusta was able to get
the tipped pass, and with all of their defenders in full-court man,
Cortez dribbled in from half court for an uncontested (shot), scoring a
layup as time ran out.
"Cortez Augusta
played his best game of the year for us and hopefully will continue
to get better. Bryce Davis played a nice game for us tonight (10
points). Chris Ware is now back in full action after having knee
surgery last month, and we are looking forward to playing him into
shape over the next couple weeks as we get ready for conference
play. Darius Adams was able to hit a couple big shots down the
stretch to get us back in the game, and he ended up with 21."

Comments: "We ran into a
buzz saw tonight. With about five minutes left in the first half, we
were down 32-31, but SCC finished out the half with a 11-2 run. We
were not able to battle back and while we outrebounded them 39-38
for the game, their pressure defense caused us 19 turnovers, and they
were able to capitalize off these turnovers for 22 points.
