 Lincoln was able to overcome a
eight-point deficit with 10 minutes to go in the first half behind eight straight points by Kiel Turpin,
then rally and go up 37-31 at halftime. However, in the second half,
Danville turned up the defensive pressure, holding Lincoln scoreless for
almost 10 minutes. Danville was able to take the lead 60-59 with 40 seconds left in
regulation on a layup by Brandon Demmings. Lincoln had to call a
timeout with 30 seconds left, and out of the timeout Tylon Deal
found Louie Schonauer in the corner to bury a 3-point shot to give
Lincoln a 62-60 advantage.
At the other end, Lincoln fouled Rilwan Bakare, who missed the
first free throw and made the second with 15 seconds left
to put the score 62-61 Lincoln. On the inbounds, Danville fouled Schonauer, who missed the front end of a 1-and-1.
Danville secured the rebound and called a timeout with 5 seconds
left. On the inbounds play, Kiel Turpin was able to switch on a pick-and-roll and
blocked a shot to seal the win for the Lynx. The pairings for the
national championship in Danville will come out
on Wednesday. ___
