Underclassmen Carry Cardinals to Win Over Lindenwood

LIBERTY, Mo. - The William Jewell men's basketball team snapped a 10-game skid on Saturday afternoon with an 81-78 win over Lindenwood. The Cardinals were carried by the freshmen and sophomores, who accounted for 61 of the 81 points while shooting 62% from the floor to push Jewell to 2-10 on the year. 

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The Cardinals got off to a slow start, falling behind by 10 early, but rallied with a 21-7 run, capped by a rebound and bucket from Kobe McKinley. The two teams traded points for the remainder of the opening half as Lindenwood got two free throws just before the break to hold a 37-35 lead. 
  • The Lions tried to put things away in the second half, going on top by seven with 13:29 to play. McKinley hit a three to spark the Cardinals who outscored Lindenwood 15-5 over the next four-plus minutes to put Jewell back on top by three. After trading buckets, Robbie Hanson hit a three to give the Cardinals a two possession cushion, 71-67. The Lions tied the game with 12 seconds to play on two free throws but with 0.6 seconds on the clock freshman Jordan Jermain hit three free throws to lift Jewell to the win.
