Rumble in the Jungle, the
Lions versus the Tigers
“Barn Burner determines who is King of the Jungle”
Lawrenceville, VA ~ The Lions of Lincoln University traveled to Taylor-Whitehead Gymnasium to take on the Tigers of Saint Paul’s College in what turned out to be one of the most exciting games of the season. With the game in overtime and the adrenaline flowing, the Tigers excitingly overtake the Lions to win, 106-108 producing their first two game winning streak of the season.
The first half of this game had the makings of a blowout for the Tigers. Going into half-time down 50-31, the Lions had a lot to discuss about what they were going to do in the second half.
The half time pep talk seemed to be productive for Lincoln, as they returned in the second half lessening the lead the Tigers held to three with two minutes left on the clock. Dante Blanton-Holcombe (G, 6-3, Jr, Baltimore, MD) decided he would take over the game for the Lions. Blanton-Holcombe scoring on a lay-up and then a 3-pointer tied the game up 94-94, at the end of regulation sending these jungle animals into overtime.
Having being outscored in the second half by the Lions, SPC would wake-up and respond in overtime. With time winding down, the Lions and Tigers trade basket to determine the top scorer. With 1:17 left in the extra period, LU’s Emmanuel Kakulu sinks two free throws increasing the Lions lead to five. Adrian Moffatt returns the favor for the Tigers by knocking down the first of three 3-pointers for the Tigers making the score, 102-104.
With Less than a minute left in the game Marcus Mitchell pulls the trigger on the second 3-pointer in this spectacular finale sending the Tigers up 105-104. Blanton-Holcombe immediately responds with a lay-up converting on his 49th point of the game, leaving less than ten seconds on the clock.
Marcus Mitchell was not done with his damage on the Lions, with one second remaining on the clock, Mitchell lands the finishing move on Lincoln with a 3-pointer producing the games final score,108-106.
The Tigers had a scoring frenzy tonight placing six players in double figures. Marcus Mitchell led SPC in scoring with 22 points and 7 rebounds, connecting on 6 of 10 field goals from behind the 3-point arc. Adrian Moffatt (17 points and 12 rebounds) and Maurice Reevey ( 15 points and 10 rebounds) both displayed all-around performance tonight netting double-double figures. Shahumaad Jones (16 points, 9 rebounds, 3 blocks), Bruce Royal (18 points and 9 assists), and Anthony Wynn (10 points and 9 rebounds) all played exceptionally well.
The Tigers will be back on the road as they travel to Elizabeth City State University on Saturday to take on the Vikings. Game time is slated for 7:30 p.m.
