Men's basketball falls at home in overtime to MSU Moorhead, 95-88
1/25/2014 9:07:00 PM | Men's Basketball
St. Cloud, Minn. – Jordan Riewer scored ten points in the overtime frame to lead Minnesota State University Moorhead to a 95-88 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) North Division win over St. Cloud State Saturday night at Halenbeck Hall.
St. Cloud State suffered their first home loss of the season. The Huskies are 13-5 overall and 9-5 in the NSIC and tied for third in the North Division. MSU Moorhead improved to 14-4 overall and 10-4 in the division and are in second place in the North.
The loss over shadowed a career night for senior forward Matt Craggs (Kimberly, Wis.) of the Huskies. Craggs scored a career-best 31 points in the game. He made 12- of -18 field goal attempts, was four-of-five from three-point range and had a team-high nine rebounds. He had 17 first half points. Craggs traditional three-point play with 1:12 left in regulation tied the game at 76-76 and neither team was able to score after that sending it to overtime.
Senior guard Damarius Cruz (Plymouth) grabbed a career-high seven rebounds, all on the defensive end and dropped in 23 points (two shy of his career best). Cruz went eight-of-eight from the free throw line. Junior guard Kevin Levandoski (Appleton, Wis.) added 13 points, six assists, five rebounds, four steals and a blocked shot for the Huskies.
St. Cloud State shot 41.4 percent from the field and 40 percent from three-point range as the Huskies made ten three-point baskets. The Huskies took a 44-41 lead into halftime. There were nine lead changes and ten ties in the game.
MSU Moorhead was led by Jordan Riewer's 21-point performance. He was seven-of-14 from the field. He was six-of-six from the free throw line, all made in the overtime segment.
The Dragons Tarell Clark posted a double-double with 18 points and 12 rebounds and Prescott Williams pulled down 11 rebounds. The Dragons out rebounded the Huskies 52-34 and shot 48 percent from the field. MSUM was 13-of-16 from the free throw line in the overtime.
The Huskies saw a ten point lead, 61-51, midway through the second half fall away as MSUM went on an 11-2 run to trail 63-62 with 7:15 left in the game. An Isaac Sevlie layup at the 3:59 mark gave the Dragons their first lead of the second half. A Tyler Vaughan three-point basket gave the Dragons a 76-73 lead with 1:33 left. Craggs hit a jumper and was fouled, made the free throw and sent the game into overtime.
This marked the third overtime game for the Huskies over their last four games. St. Cloud State is 1-2 in those games. The most overtime games played in a season by the Huskies is seven in 1998-99.
