Christian College vs. Moody Bible Institute

16, 2001] Lincoln
Christian College’s men’s basketball team visited Chicago yesterday to face
off against Moody Bible Institute. Moody beat Lincoln 67-59.
|
Lincoln’s
coach Randy Kirk was disappointed. "We dug ourselves a deep hole in the
first half," he said. "Players that I count on to not make mental
mistakes made mental mistakes; so by halftime, they made some shots, and we
found ourselves down by 12 at the half."
Coach
Kirk was not only disappointed in the players, he was disappointed in himself,
"In the second half, every time we got close, we lost a call. We got
distracted by the officiating — both myself and the players got distracted,
and as a coach I cannot let that happen."
The
Preachers’ lead scorer was Matt Clark, with 32. He made three 3-pointers, six
field goals and 11 free throws. Donnie Bowman was the next highest scorer, with
11 points. Bowman shot two 3-pointers, two field goals and one free throw. Dante
Watson and Antoni Okusami each scored six points. Jim Turney and David Simmons
each made two points. As a team, the Preachers totaled five 3-pointers, 15 field
goals and 14 free throws.
Moody’s
team made a total of 10 3-pointers, 13 field goals and 11 free throws.
The Preachers’
record is now 18-15. Their next game is tomorrow afternoon, in Ohio, against
Cincinnati Bible College.

Christian College vs. St. Louis Christian College
Back
on track, LCC Preachers chalked up one more, winning 88-71. Coach Randy Kirk
says his team "did not play with our usual intensity defensively. We let
them stay close, especially in the second half. Because of our lack of intensity
we let them back into the game. About halfway into the second half we switched
to man-to-man and were able to pick up the intensity on defense. We bridged the
gap and built on our lead." Kirk also wanted to acknowledge Matt Clark
saying, "Even though he plays a lot of minutes in each game, he steps it up
every night. He has had 50 percent shooting, near perfect free throws, six at
the boards, six assists."

team stats: Clark 9-8-29, Raymer 1-2-5, Weber 2-2-6, Johnson, Bowman 6-0-13,

difference in the game was that we climbed back into the game and came down four

sophomores.”
