SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP: DAY 2

Details

10 Mar

DAY 1 RECAP!

New Orleans 73    Houston Christian 60
New Orleans advanced to the quarterfinals of the Southland Conference Championship with a 73-60 win over Houston Christian, powered by a double-double from MJ Thomas. He finished with 10 points and 12 rebounds as the Privateers controlled the glass, outrebounding Houston Christian 43-27 and turning that advantage into 11 second-chance points while holding HCU to none.

The game was tight early, with New Orleans holding a slim one-point lead at halftime. The Privateers created separation in the second half with a decisive 12-0 run that helped put the game out of reach.

Houston Christian took a major hit when D’Aundre Samuels, who scored 15 points in the first half, appeared to get banged up and was not the same after the break. He managed just five points in the second half, which significantly impacted HCU’s chances. Samuels still led all scorers with 20 points.

New Orleans was led by its top two scorers, Coleton Benson and Jakevion Buckley, who each finished with 14 points. Buckley struggled from the field, shooting 3-for-14, but made an impact at the free-throw line, going 7-for-8 while also contributing six assists and five rebounds.

Kylin Green added 13 points and five rebounds for Houston Christian, while Demarco Bethea chipped in 11 points and six rebounds.

Houston Christian closes the season with a 12-20 record, while New Orleans improves to 15-17 and will face No. 4 seed Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in the quarterfinals at 5:00 p.m.

Nicholls 61    Northwestern State 47
Nicholls used a key 10-0 run in the second half to create separation and advance to the quarterfinals of the Southland Conference Tournament with a 61-47 win over Northwestern State.

Both teams struggled offensively in the first half, combining to shoot just 17-for-52 from the field. Nicholls found its rhythm after the break, shooting 55% in the second half to pull away and secure the victory.

The Colonels controlled the paint throughout the game, outscoring Northwestern State 38-12 inside.

Sincere Malone led Nicholls with 14 points, while Jalik Dunkley added 13 points and seven rebounds. Jalin Rice also reached double figures with 12 points in the win.

Izzy Miles paced Northwestern State with 14 points, followed by former Atacocita Eagle star Landyn Jumawan with 12. The Demons struggled to get production from their leading scorer, Micah Thomas, who finished with just four points on 2-of-13 shooting after averaging 17.2 points per game during the season. Former Westfield Mustang Willie Williams pulled down 11 rebounds.

Northwestern State ends its season at 10-22, while Nicholls improves to 14-18 and will face No. 3 seed UTRGV in the quarterfinals tomorrow night at 7:30 p.m.
