Jewell Defeats Missouri S&T 91-72

On a night celebrating head coach Larry Holley's 900th win, the William Jewell men's basketball by gave him win No. 903 with a 91-72 victory over Missouri S&T. The Cards move to 17-5 on the season and 7-5 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. 


HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The Cardinals got off to a fast start leading Missouri S&T 17-5 just over four minutes into the game. The Miners responded with a 24-9 run to go on top 29-28 with 6:24 to play in the opening half. The Cardinals pushed the lead back double digits before the break, led by nine points from Pharroh Gordon during the run. 
  • The Miners pulled within 11 early in the second half but Jewell continued rolling, increasing the lead to as many as 18 with under four minutes to play.  A layup by Gordon gave Jewell their biggest advantage of the night at 88-67 with just over two minutes to play as the Cards cruised to the 91-72 win.

  • The Cardinals won the battle in the paint 50-36. 
  • Jewell was outrebounded 44-30, and allowed the Miners 19 offensive boards. 
  • The Cards committed just 11 turnovers to the Miners' 18, leading to 23 points. 
  • Jewell returned to their regular shooting marks, hitting nearly 56 percent of their shots, while holding Missouri S&T 39 percent. 

LEADERS OF THE FLIGHT
