March 16, 2024, in Caldwell, ID, at J.A. Albertson Activities Center.
Live on the campus of college of Idaho from the Jake it’s the na second round between the College of Idaho yolks and the Cornerstone University Gold Eagles both these teams victorious in the opening round of the ni national tournament last night College of Idaho putting up triple digits on Jessup they
Won that one in a route did the Yol so here they are here tonight again playing on their home floor and Cornerstone beating the N seeded Carol college that school out of Montana that was a close one last night you and I on the call for both those games yesterday as we come
Into the game here tonight another Rowdy uh crowd here tonight for for the oats really this is their home four so what do you think these two teams quickly here before the anthem yeah in a good good game we saw from the College of Idaho the first round and they took it
To uh to Jessup and Jessup really didn’t have a chance from the beginning but it was on the back of great three-point shooting and then moving without the ball and able to create some spaces and so we’re going to have the national anthem here real quick and I think we’ll
Take a quick break yep sounds good we’ll see you on the other side e e e just a few moments away here from tip off back here at the College of Idaho Lucas Gart and Ryan Luke bringing you coverage of the second round Nia National Tournament matchup winner of
This one onto the quarterfinals they will play the winner of shaie State who upset Roosevelt last night and they will play madona so that is a 513 matchup at the bottom section of this bracket so winner of this one will get the winner Moma and shaie state so while we have a
Chance let’s go ahead and meet today’s starters we will begin with the E SE of Cornerstone University golden eagles Cornerstone today will start a 66 uh junior forward from Hudson Michigan that’s going to be Jack J durma also in the lineup a 62 Junior Guard from Zealand Michigan Eli steppen a 68
Junor forward from Australia Toby walock and a 6 n center from whan Michigan Cory answorth and a 65 Junior Guard from huran Ohio Luke rollinson the golden eagles are led by head coach Kim Elders on the other side for College of Idaho here so they’re going to start today

Drew Wyman the oats are led by head coach kobby Blaine and tonight at the College of Idaho is in search of win number 30 for the seventh time in program history it’s to be the sixth time in the last seven years they’re able to accomplish it and CFI has also
Won its last four second round matchups with an overall Mark of 10 and five in the second round all time it’s the program yeah phenomenal feed if you’re looking at look at at it from a pure fan perspective I mean this is like a Kentucky feat when you’re going back to
The late ’90s early 2000s all the way through consistently a sweet 16 team and that is the expectation for College of Idaho to do that and now after having won the national championship and returning almost everybody and getting better quite frankly the expectation to go all the way but Cornerstone coming in
Playing a good sound ball game versus Carol last night and they’re going to have something to say about it tonight they come in with answorth who is basically well he isn’t all- American he was a conference Player of the Year and for rightfully so I mean the guy is
Absolutely phenomenal down low he’s going to be a load and he’s going to slow the game down they’ll run the offense through him all night and as well they should he put up uh I believe it was 24 points last night and basically carry the team in the latter
Parts of the game the stage of the game for the victory now College of Idaho comes out College of college of Idaho does it on a lot of ways they do it from the from three-point land they do it moving without the ball a lot of back
Cuts and they’ll get you off balance in terms of who’s going to score who’s going to score when and where and then they’re deep and Jake o Neil cheer from the crowd the whole crowd gets into it but then they also do it with a deep deep bench they’re going to run 10
People tonight and so fatigue has never been an issue for College of Idaho cornerstones going to have their hands full and College of Idaho looking to Make Some Noise here in the round the second round to get to the Sweet 16 yeah this will be a good one here tonight
It’s always a fun atmosphere here at the Jake packed house once again here on St Patrick’s day you’ll see some of the students over there on the far sideline dressed in the unusual green tonight usually decked out of purple tonight it’s green here from the C ofi students
College of Idaho going to be wearing the white uniform night Cornerstone the visiting blue uniforms one of the best environments in the entire country here at the Jake in Caldwell Idaho so big tip here and I think you’re going to see College of Idaho take it
From the very beginning and the goal is setting the tone and in order to do that they’ve got to shoot well but uh on their home court I can only imagine it’s going to go off well but true Wyman and answorth in the center circle off we go
Here from the Jake tonight the Ys win the tip here with samaj Morgan over on the right side we’ll hand this one off to Radford as the Ys get into their first offensive possession of the night Winer this one on to the Nia quarterfinals second round action here
In the National Tournament putting this one on for Wyman off glass no rebound going to Cornerstone as they will bring this up for their first possession of the night first possession that’s it I mean wman got a good look just not able to convert uh and I think you’re going
To continue to see that the Offman that answorth is not guarding is going to be the man in the post short jumper that one rolls home that’s Jack dma who gets the scoring started the oats fans will have a seat as they all stand until the visiting
Team scores their first bucket it’s the first bucket of the night going to [Applause] Cornerstone our side they go with robinett to the near side rather as here’s Morgan well drive left to the free throw line Kick Back Robin out of three on the way good and that just finishes from last
Night I mean that’s a continuation 29 Points last night and Robinette was Lethal from three-point land and they ran a screen and they got Morgan to peel off answorth and he couldn’t get there in time to prevent the shot yeah like you said right 29 Points to Robinette
Last night most of them from behind the ark download they go to anworth going to work on Robinette anworth spin trying to go through Robinette and a foul called on Robinette the Ys thought they had a steal yeah Robinette and speaking to some of the Carol players last night
They talked about answorth and just how crafty he is down in the paint and a lot of the movements and he’ll pivot and he’ll bump you and pump fake you when you’re off and then get you to a point where you’re off balance and then he’ll
Go around you and very soft touch around the rim so foul on the floor so inbounding this one will be Cornerstone on the B Bas line as they throw this one into the far Wing number two wol coock will hand this one back to Stephan who will set it up at the center
Circle try to zp this one down the post deflected Stephen the first there and off glass good getting the roll to JMA again he’s got all [Applause] four Morgan trying to get to the rim he’s blocked a bit of a mismatch in Morgan when he broke free you could see the defender
And I want to say that was that was joldersma who got over there timed it up and blocked it out of bounds but to this point Corner still moving without the ball really really well cuts to the basket and trying to keep colge of Idaho on their on their heels there Wyman on
The low post as he kicks out to the wing Morgan now with it bounce pass down low they try it with Wyman Wyman turn around shot good we talked about it the big man that does not not have answorth on them on him is going to be the one in the post
And that’s Wyman right now yeah this is going to be a kick ball as rollinson tried to Coral it but it went off his foot so it stays here here with the golden eagles 17 and 1 half minutes left to go opening minutes of this one here
From Caldwell quick that’s his shot that is his shot and he will knock that down all night in the two3 even if he plays in the high post you’ll see him hit that 15-footer he knocks that one down in 74 YZ leading by three Morgan on the near side puts this
One on the floor had it stripped it’s loose at Center Court GMA the first to it and on the fast break it’s going to be a foul call to get C ofi well that all started on the offensive end for the Y as they came in
And Morgan trying to do a little too much with the ball trying to create some ption that is the game plan create and kick create and kick drive and kick uh Unfortunately they came over and they double teamed now on the other end you saw Jake O’Neal J um pardon me joldersma
Stepped on O’Neal’s foot as he went down landed hard on his tush so drill dma to the line and his first one is good and you got to be careful because Cornerstone is incredibly fundamentally sound everything they do is very measured you know in terms of free throws you look at
Good high free throw percentage everything they do very very well done he knocks down both of his free throws he’s got six of the eight here for Cornerstone do Jo thma let traing by three Morgan trying to get to the rim off glass and good that was sick that was filthy he crossed
Him over and exploded forward and had an easy Lane to the bucket Rollins in a long three front rim col vaho tag team in the rebound they look run now Morgan in transition bounce past Robinette down low Robinette kicks to a three on the wing back RM no good radford’s a shooter
He wasn’t quite on last night and they need him to get dialed in he’s he’s a phenomenal Defender and they have to have him on the floor and any kind of offensive contribution will help the Ys I post here they go just Cornerstone they’re going to shoot it from That
Elbow it’s no good that came from answorth y grabb the [Applause] rebound Morgan going over to Radford here on the near side back to Morgan they swing it around Robinette bounce past Baseline reverse layup good Jake O’Neal Jake O’Neal he’s so explosive goes Baseline and then reverses with the off
Hand tach Morgan tried to draw the charge officials didn’t bite Cornerstone still with and now it’s aworth finding a teamate on the Bas side Nifty layup up and good JMA once again jerso showing us some double clutch underneath and he’s done it from all over and he was a he
Was a force last night obviously shooting better tonight and they’re going to have to check him up here’s a three from the left wing good Drew Wyman connecting from long range in the yolks leading by two wman will do that to you too you’ve got to run him out on him and
Even with a hand in his face he’s actually an explosive athlete and he has a high release aworth the answer on the other end short jumper up and good that’s that’s bread and butter right there for him that easy one-and floater in the lane and not anybody getting a hand in his
Face there’s Johnny Radford he’s going to let this three go it’s deep in in and out let that one go from the Yol slogo Let It Go from the S I tell you Bradford needs to get on and if they get him on they’re going to be tough this one deflected Robin EG
Grabbing it y’s looking to run in transition but they throw it away into traffic Jo dma there for the steel and now Cornerstone you might see this throughout the night they want to control the tempo slow things down be in the half court yeah Cornerstone knows they cannot
Compete and an up and down game with College of Idaho and the athleticism that College of Idaho shows really really mismatch stepen cuts through traffic and puts it up and in and Cornerstone retaking the lead 14- 12 as we approach the 14-minute mark hanging around doing everything you’ve
Got to do versus this number three team in the country S Morgan thought about a three instead skips inside and SS it I mean he didn’t even have to stop he just kind of paused for a moment and guy goes flying and just a nice little jump shot in the in the
Lane rollinson over on the left wing putting this one on the floor it’s traffic Radford forcing a tie up Ys almost had a steal they would have had two with Morgan flying down the court so Morgan’s going to keep need to keep doing that that is how he’s going
To create space getting too deep in the lane he’s going to find trouble but he’s stopping and he’s stopped about halfway down the lane e either looking for jump shot or to Dish three our first media timeout it’s good one so far all tied at 14 1347 to go in the first first
Half 1347 left in this first half NAIA second round matchup here between College of Idaho and Cornerstone Cornerstone out of Michigan out of Grand Rapids Michigan enrollment 1800 here for the golden eagles just a little bit bigger than the College of Idaho is obviously playing on their home floor
Here at Caldwell yeah putting up a fight it’s all dotted up at 14 but this is the second line there’s a line change for College of Idaho Paul Wilson Manning the middle there and this is a really athletic and good shooting floor for College of
Idaho Subs on as well this is going to be a shot clock violation on Cornerstone as they weren’t aware of the the shot clock clearly with were the golden eagles they just weren’t aware of the clock it crept down on them to get a shot off at the end but
That’s a stop that’s a defensive stop that came off that jump ball remember and so College of Idaho making it making it work for him also going to throw this one down to Kaden handren who’s one of those subs that checked in kick it back to douge
Peop underneath peoples can’t get it to go they swap this one out for a rebound but a foul on the rebound goes against the College of Idaho and peoples was lights out last night shooting from Beyond The Arc and they feel like at 68 he has a matchup
He’s a matchup nightmare for him as he’s took a lower smaller man to the post and that was Eli stepen Stephan though showing good position forcing him into the Miss five on the floor here for college v handron as we mentioned also Stratton Rogers Alex germer also on the
Floor as well as douge peoples like we mentioned with Paul Wilson that’s your five on the floor as this foul is going to give it back to CI same call that Paul Wilson had on the other way down but this time ended up calling it on dma
And dyma hey I guess they’re calling over the backs tonight so chalk that up to your memory if you’re a player and just know that you got to have some space five for Cornerstone it’s going to be Stefan as well as Blake Stewart is checked in underneath they go Paul
Wilson two-handed slam and the o3e Take the Lead boy it sure helps when you have somebody that can finish around the rim and and not measuring at almost 7 foot Paul Wilson easy dunk but uh Stanton Rogers getting to the hole his athleticism really on display Conor dyma
Also a sub in for Cornerstone answorth and rollinson still The Bigs on the floor for the golden eagles as well tend to shoot here for Cornerstone finding a man cutting to the rim clock getting down to three seconds as they let it go air ball and it’s
Going to go out of bounds back to the College of [Applause] Idaho and and we’re seeing again Cornerstone slowing the game down milking the whole shot clock the idea is is to shorten the game and and I like it I mean you let the K College of Idaho
Get out running and shooting and they can put up 10 points on you in a blink of an eye trying to get to the rim reverse layup no as that was Rogers it’s loose CMI still with it now they’re going to try three from the left wing that’s no
Good Paul Wilson there for the rebound put back no still loose underneath the Cornerstone finally comes away with it golden eagles looking to run now now it’s loose and CFI scraps it it back and a foul called against Cornerstone flurry of events down there College of Idaho not able to convert and
Paul Wilson P point blank two times and boy you just want to see him just dunk that thing like get up in there and do it big mistake by the big man he brought the ball down and and if you’re young and you’re watching this you always hold
The ball high after a rebound Paul Wilson brought it right around his his hips and that’s where it gets swatted that’s something you and I talk about all the time you’re a big holding up by the chin don’t BR it down by the hip C ofi with it now spinning turning
Picking up the dribble is Rogers and a foul called on Cornerstone College of Idaho a little out of sink here playing that halfcourt game and yes they can but they look to shoot early on in the shot clock by creating some space so Cornerstone hand
It to them again game plan shorten it go deep into the shot clock force them into just really a methodical play and get them again shooting free throws is probably an advantage at this point versus the three-point line yeah but first free throw is going to bounce home here for Rogers wolock is
Going to check back in for Cornerstone as he replaces Blake Stewart who just picked up his second foul Off the Bench yeah ansor is going to be an interesting matchup for Paul Wilson and if Wilson can can keep his feet and not get up and go ansor is
Amazing with pump F so if you can keep your ground but it looks like they’re they’re going to run the the Trap the half court trap now the 131 a deep three from the left side that’s too strong but another chance at it is Cornerstone stepen over on the right
Wing ansor jumper from the Baseline too strong Wist in the rebound two thre’s defense they went from that 13-1 settled into the two3 and that jump shots going to be open Cornerstone has to hit if they’re going to be successful tonight Wilson with it now going over to
Rogers on the right side gets a screen from Wilson Rogers over to handron they work over to the far side pocket now T to shoot for the oats put his man down germer through traffic blocked by aworth and Cornerstone grabs it and with 10 and a half to go they’ll zip it up
The four for their next possession Cornerstone Scrappy defense and we’ve seen some teams this year Lucas you and I and that Scrappy defense kind of gets you off your game you’re not able to shoot the shots in Rhythm nice bounce pass down though aworth count the bucket and the
Foul high low high low offense flash high and answorth waited for the defense to commit and then he flashed ran the Baseline and now he has a chance for a three-point play tie this thing up 10 17 left to go in this opening half it’s been close virtually the whole way
This was the point in the game where corn Stone yesterday remember they Trail by 10 pretty early in that first half Carol colllege ran out to that double digit lead and then this was about the point in that first half where Cornerstone really turned it on it was a 22-point
Swing in that first half was golden eagles eventually took a 12-point lead yotes looking to retake the lead here but can’t connect on the three as WI minut Cornerstone slowing things down here under 10 minutes to play in the first half short jumper left short by walock andr in transition will find
Rogers Circle the top of the key Rogers nearly losing it still keeping it handren now on the right wing handren bounce pass down to Rogers kick out Wyman pump fakes in enters to the right elbow Ys with nine to shoot now they’re going to fired away from
Straight to top of the key back rim no good that was a great defensive possession yeah forc him into a tough shot and peop took it problem was people wasn’t in Rhythm he didn’t he he found himself open but he just they’re just bumping him off a little bit off the
Rhythm in Cornerstone good defensive strategy so far good ball movement here aword stuck on the Baseline though and he travel that’s huge that is huge if if Wilson can continue to do that all night and force anworth and to go into Baseline I mean that’s a big on a really
Big and it looks like he was able it doesn’t look like he was able to force that turnover just by being in position hit another media timeout All Tied just like the last media timeout tied at 14 at the last one tied at 17 here we’ll be
Back 903 left here in the opening half about a little over halfway through this first half so some first half stats for you as we have them here in front of us College of Idaho just shooting 38% of the from the field they shooting 28% from behind the
Arc just two of seven are the oats from three Cornerstone meanwhile shooting 50% they have not made a three yet though they’ve only shot two so a small sample size so there’s some shooting percentages for you as we are about halfway through this first half so the
Oats not seeing as many shots fall as they’re used to see normally shoots about 47% from the field here’s Robinette down on the Baseline kick out Radford circles will now take it to the cup floater got it that was slick looking it looked like it
Was going to rim out and look if you’re a Cornerstone this couldn’t go any better you’re getting exactly what you want you shorten the game you win the little things you do fundamentals although turn the ball over there but you keep the you keep it close and you
Keep feisty everything has to be feisty for colido got to find a way to break free and spread those wings a bit or stretch those legs get some stuff transition wise and then start knocking down more threes just a second turnover of the night for Cornerstone samaj
Morgan now with it as he checked back into the game pump fakes a three bounce pass down into the high block area backing his man down as Wyman Wyman turn around shot back for him no and climbing the ladder for the rebound jel dma why lost that on the way
Up it looks like it was coming out of his hand kind of funky and he ended up shot putting it at The Rim that’s saw on a travel called on Cornerstone so it gives it back to C ofi so they had just one turnover prior to the last two
Possessions and backto back turnovers now for the golden eagles yeah walock said no no no no no but everybody everybody else in this state in this Auditorium said yes yes yes that was a turnover it’s a little outnumbered I think here tonight Morgan takes a baseline kicks to
A three good ah Radford right there and that’s what we talked about Morgan getting deep that time but knowing he was going to have somebody flash to the corner and that is all part of it Johnny Radford on is a problem for Cornerstone tonight radford’s first triple of the
Night he’s got five now here’s the short jumper off glass and good Luke rollinson binked that one home this three Off the Mark quick three that is and Cornerstone grabs it looking to run in transition now and they get two more roll it’s in again so that should
Be in football be the delay of game warning on the defense I don’t know what they’re going to call nothing say let’s do it over again here we go don’t do that again don’t do it again shake your finger at him that’s what they did go sleep by wner with seven minutes
To play in the first half Robin Ed over on the left side now putting this one on the floor getting to the cup O’Neal he’s fouled and he’ll go to the line for a pair Jake O’Neal he’s so explosive to the rim and he’s been matched pretty well other than the one
Play where he went Baseline uh he has not been able to squirt free and get to the hole in hisame game is really around the rim so they joldersma joldersma Sorry joldersma family I apologize the joldersma has done a fantastic job checking him and keeping him from
Getting to the rim in an explosive manner that time had to settle for a fadeaway jump shot and looks like he got him with the body connecting on the first is O’Neal he’ll have one more connects on B and call drive just hasn’t been able to make that run you know they’ll come
Off they’ll rip off six s points in a row and they just have not been able to do that and that’s exactly what Cornerstone needs to prevent from happening and just keep chipping away at it from The Far Side they go here with rollinson this one’s intercepted by CFI
Wyman in transition finds Morgan Morgan through contact he’ll shoot two Morgan knew he was going to get hit on that one and he jumped right into it tried to do the flip it up underneath and see if he could kiss it off the glass um I thought they had a trailer on
That one I thought maybe they could have left it out instead and Morgan took the aggressive play drew the foul saach Morgan here to the stripe he’ll shoot two he’s got four points so far today and has this one bounce out on him talked about last night how Morgan
Was the leading scorer one point averaging over 15 points a game and then his role kind of settled in as a play maker versus a scorer as much but still very capable of shooting and getting to the hole and and doing a lot of things
Really well next on is second Ys take a 2521 lead six and a half to go in this opening half of basketball here from CI and this one goes off the hands and finds it right into the lapel durall but he can’t connect CI grabs the rebound
They’re looking to run now now slowing it down kick out Morgan pump F on a three behind the back dribble trying to get to the cup and they lose it the other way now Cornerstone stepen over on the left wing slinks this one down now back out open
Three on the way that’s no good it’s one that you feel like you have to have if your corner St yeah you got to shoot well and you have to be able to knock down those threes um coach Blaine maybe calling the back a little bit more of a set
Piece looking to create versus react kicks out robinet Robinette kicks for a three good Dre Wyman once again connecting from long range again Inside Out lots and lots of inside out and when your bigs can shoot like that Drew Wyman is you know what he’s going to be a
Doctor when he grows up that’s what he’s going to be but Drew Wyman at 6’5 but explosive athlete shoots over the top it’s a seven-point lead here’s a three from the corner that’s no good CI looking to run now forgan will slow it up here’s a three from the pocket and
It’s good Johnny Radford knocking down threes is a problem for Cornerstone Radford drills it from the corner and the Ys lead by 10 this is the spurt we talked about colge Idaho needed this create some separation down low spins turns through traffic high off the GL no CMI grabs through the
Rebound Morgan tosses this one Radford another three that’s no good this place would have exploded if he hit that absolutely answorth looking to check in got to stop the bleeding now and bring your allamerican in three from the corner no good wrap for the rebound tosses it to Morgan Morgan on the right
Wing he’ll back it up with four minutes stuff to play he’ll look back to his head coach for the play smartly pulls it out absolutely smart play Morgan drives left Morgan cuts through traffic and puts it off class in so apparently Morgan’s from somewhere in Europe cuz he Euro stepped around
Everybody and so strong with those legs able to explode off of one foot and still finish around the rim the Ys lead by 12 time out Cornerstone let’s go check a quick replay though let’s take a look at Morgan as he comes down Euro Step finishes with the right jumped off
His right foot to finish with his right hand we’ll take a quick media time out Yoles leading 3321 347 left in this opening half College of Idaho with its largest lead of the night at 12 leading 33-21 the oats now shooting 46 6% from the field
Last time we checked on that they were shooting in the 20s so a much better shooting spurt there for CI as they race out to this 12-point lead here comes the second line as we call it for c ofi yeah but they keep Radford and O’Neal in for some
Continuity and you can see coach Blain’s strategy here overlap now do your two line shifts but now overlap for some continuity plus they like O’Neal and Stratford’s had or excuse me radford’s had the hot hand PP F from the right wing driving in shooting no and now
Fouling the rebounds going against C ofi they got handred handred doesn’t like it but that was a right call he had his arm wrapped around his shoulder and dragged the Cornerstone player to the ground here’s Mason Brooks now holding up top we’ll put this on the floor tosses to
Rollinson 320 left to play opening half deep three from the right side air ball so they they ran the screen playay cuz Jake O’Neal has they put him up high he’s typically their three uh he plays a three spot which will put him down low
On the two3 but uh they had him running out they they tried to screen him off they’re putting some big this is a bigger lineup Johnny Radford is the shortest man out there at 6′ 61 and handri running about 63 64 along with O’Neal at 6’4 they have good length on the
Perimeter with it now is Radford kicks out to Wilson rotates around to handri handri mend to shoot kicks back out Radford Radford step back three no loose on the rebound fans want to call they don’t get it and now running over the CMI player there with happen
And now the fans get the call Sten Rogers was just pesky I’ll even go as far as to say annoying on that one thought there should have been a call and he came back and kept swiping swiping at it and just had enough of it was a Cornerstone player just kind of
Push shimmy did with the forearm I believe that was Eli stefen fouls on stefen two and a half to play driving Baseline good find Wilson he’ll go to the line that’s good that’s a strong move you got to do it and we talked about moving without the ball cutting down the
Lane col of Idaho executing right now feels like cornerstone’s a little off they they’re out of sink in terms of offense uh such a fundamentally sound team I’d like to see him maybe do a little bit more I a deep step back three is not their game you know you got to
Look at answorth inside and maybe either have him hit that 15-footer or have him work down low against maybe Wilson or somebody else but they do need a bucket right now Wilson missing on his first to have one more coming [Applause] up second free throw on the way that’s snow good but a
Whistle and it’ll go back to Cornerstone and they’re going to call a foul on Jake O’Neal gave a big shove and he’s saying I got a forearm too though 230 left to play opening half CFI been on one of its well-known runs here late in the first
Half stepen with it at the top of the key picks up his dribble he’s looking for somewhere to go with it midrange jumper on the way is good and that was Blake Stewart the junior knocks that one down yeah so that’s their shot that’s Cornerstone that’s their offense offensive rebound Wilson y’s
Going to get another shot at it here with two minutes to play down low they go with Wilson Wilson along the Baseline can’t get that to roll home Rogers is there for the rebound back to Wilson and he’s fouled Wilson doing some work down low multiple shots but drawn two fouls now on
Answorth oh I lied they’re going to say that’s his first apparently the first one was not on him when Wilson went to the line the first time so Paul Wilson back to the stripe here he just missed two just a few moments ago he’ll have another chance of two more here gets his
First PES the lead back to 11 one more coming up here for Wilson as he can’t get that to go on the back rim Stewart grabs the rebound step and bringing it [Applause] up shot from the elbow up and good for answorth and that’s that’s the path back that’s the path back answorth anywhere
From the elbow free throw line even from 18 ft out and letting him do the work tough shot Rogers that’s off glass and no good 124 to go as Stephen brings it up making a stand here as Cornerstone just chiping away back to anworth they go anworth puts this on the
Floor and gets that one to go on the hook the key is don’t leave your feet because as soon as you leave your feet he’s gone and answorth so crafty around the rim and a timeout taken here by the College of Idaho as we’ll get another look at that
Yeah anyway hit a shot how’s that anworth crafty around the rim we talked about it don’t leave your feet also hitting the jump shot from the other on the last possession previous possession and Cornerstone creeping back closer and closer 102 left to play here in this
First half it’s been a tight one for most of it it’s felt close at least and they need this and is as coach BL pull some of his players out the same ones that made the run because he wants to rest him he does like to to have his
Players is fresh for the the Run perfect timing for Cornerstone to make the Run coach Elders putting his team in and feeding anworth and you’ve got to keep it running through him again getting deep in the shot clock getting some stops on defense and that’s how it’s
Going to have to happen the rest of the way not an incredibly explosive team and they’re not going to rip off 10 at a time but if you can do two three every every so often you can get back into this thing here’s Robinette one of the
Starters here for CI BCE pass over the Rogers kick back out Robinette drills it such a pure shooter and Robin Ed showed it last night he has a stroke going again tonight the lead is back to 10 40 seconds to play in this opening half stefen near side rollets in back to
Stepen finds answorth anworth mid-range jumper that’s way off as Robinette grabs it you see coach bla strategy now two3 but nobody shorter than 6’4 out there so when answorth or anybody gets it in the high post they’re able to get a hand in their face defensively this is a this is
A good squat on the floor right now if you’re going to neutralize answorth uh all the way around nine to shoot eight left on the clock as that one is a Top Shot off glass and good for Wyman wow that entry pass was ridiculous there’s a
Shot the wh left short and we have reached halftime 392 7 C IFI taking the lead into the break let’s take a look at this last play as Drew Wyman finishes you can see the entry pass here from Stanton and Wyman elevates and shoots over the top and that’s going to take us
To halftime and with your score uh College W Hill 39 and Cornerstone University 27 just moments away here from the second half here at the College of Idaho our halftime scor 3927 as both these teams getting ready for the last 20 minutes of this one as
We look over some of the halftime stats is what some stood out to us Cornerstone shooting 44% from the field Cornerstone still looking for its first three of the night they’re 0 for six from behind the arc they made all three of their fi free throws I should say getting out
Rebounded by the College of Idaho by just one Mark 18 to 17 Corston turned it over eight times her largest lead has been three colge of Idaho meanwhile shooting 43% from the field they’re six of 15 from behind The Arc 50% from the free throw line they’ve turned it over
Three times and their largest lead the one they hold now which is 12 so coming into to this game we knew Cornerstone was going to have to keep it close the goal was to not let the College of Idaho go on any runs and right towards the end of the second half
That’s exactly what happened but Cornerstone is not out of this we’ve seen them come back from 10-point deficit and and actually win the game last night but it’s got to be done and you’re going to run the offense through answorth and you got to do that with good defense and not allow three-point
Shots like this Robin out of three out of the gate no but CI grabbing the rebound anworth leading all scores at the break with 11 points as Morgan will set this one back up leading score for college of Idaho with 10 as Morgan spins underneath at
This one knocked out of his hands but stays down here so Drew Wyman the leading scorer for the College of Idaho with 10 points and on the other side of course Cory answorth All American with 11 points they float this one in but can’t get that one to go
Is leaving that one short we see you by was O’Neal that would have been a Nifty way to start the half yeah absolutely and they run that about once a game and they have to get the timing just right he actually tried to finish with his
Left hand pass was a little off aworth down low bullies his way to the rim cuts the lead back down to 10 left side they go Robinette a three and that goes in and out it’s two in a row that Robinette has not been able to knock down and that’s that’s rare you
Don’t see Robinette miss two in a row I don’t know if that’s going to extend but this is what you need stops on one end come back and even if it’s just a two-point shot that’s what you’re looking for a worth they go they try to
Dump the this one down to low post it’s deflected out of bounds and it’s going to stay here with Cornerstone take a look here real quick and ANS were doing work underneath and you just see how what a deaf touch he has working around the basket they go back in
Answorth thinking about a deep three pump fake was rollinson back to anworth down the low block answorth going to work and that rolls off the rim talk about about the key is not leaving your feet as soon as he gets you in the air he will spin the other
Direction and just masterfully taking care of the ball driving Baseline is O’Neal but he can’t get that one to go off the glass see ofi little cold coming out of the coming out of the break bit of a scoring drought three Miss three straight missed shots for College of
Idaho rollinson lets a deep three go and he drilled it just like that it’s seven and Cornerstone getting stops on defense and coming back and finally I think that’s the first three-point shot of the night it is yeah their first made three in this one for Cornerstone cuts it down
To seven the other way that’s left short there for the offensive rebound is Wyman and his put back is up and in Drew Wyman doing work left it short everything’s been a little short the second half and they got to loosen up coming out of halftime Drew Wyman having
To do it by wrestling for the rebound get those two points rollinson down to aworth aworth on Robinette here comes the double team five Str th Robinette blocked it but a foul now the question is it on Robinette or O’Neal it’s on Robinette yeah they’re
Going to call for it and even even if he did get ball and we can see a quick replay here as he cuts down the lane and Robin Ed swiping at it like that they’re going to call the foul every Time so Jo thma to the line he has eight points and he can’t get his first one to go jersa has been a big big key to this team specifically in the first half of the first half and then they quieted down a bit as answorth started getting
Going but they could sure use a spark plug second one no good this one swatted out of bounds it’s going to go back to CI nine-point lead and you kind of get the feeling if if College of Idaho get get it turned on they may have this
Thing figured out in terms of putting points up in a hurry yeah they’re certainly good at that if they’re triple digits multiple times throughout this year including last night as this foul away from the ball on Cornerstone you can see a fundamental defensive difference between the team from last night and Jessup in
Quarterstone tonight in that they’re making they’re they’re drawing the game out but defensively making shots a lot tougher to just take putting hands in faces playing a little bit tougher tighter man-to-man defense Morgan pulls up from the elbow and he got it stops on a dime and explodes up tough
To do that when you’re moving backwards couple minutes into this first half Cornerstone back with it over on the left wing aworth long two rattles home and that’s his game I mean I’ll be honest he has a professional basketball career if he wants one oh Jake O’Neal
At the other end and you saw the the acrobat shot able to get it fall to fall around answorth the big 69ine guy good job by by O’Neal 16 and a half to play here’s a three from the left wing that’s no good see of either the rebound they
Toss it to Robinette bringing this one up Jake O’Neal O’Neal back to Robinette Robinette over in the corner they work back over over to Morgan Far Side here’s a three from the right wing no good there for the offensive rebound they try to kick it back out to
Robinette but it’s stolen away by stepen stepan in transition step through no Morgan forcing the Miss Now quickly the other way with Radford Radford look out Bel yeah he traveled they say the fouls on the flo now they say he traveled he did he took three steps Okay yeah let’s take a look at the Jake O’Neal shot on the up and under it comes in and the acrobatic shot going under the arms of answorth got the shot to fall and trying for the dunk on the other end and took one too many steps
That were the NBA all good yeah that’s in the NBA all good and they’re putting it on Sports Center too one too many steps though so it goes back to Cornerstone about 15 and A2 minutes minutes to play in this one 4534 our score answorth no one near him
Back RM no good Rogers the rebound Morgan will bring it up in transition anorth was too open found himself he wasn’t ready for that go to people’s hand and kick Robinette the three that’s no and the rebound going to [Applause] Cornerstone right wing they go with rollinson to answorth on the right elbow
Anworth back down to rollinson tough shot but a foul it’s called on peoples it’s going to be on peoples and rollinson did did what every good post player needs to learn to do even if the defender has their arms straight up if you come at an angle and you’re swiping
Across he was able to draw the foul and douge peop nothing he could have done on that one he could all he had he could have backed up and then they wouldn’t have called the foul rollinson connecting on his first couple Subs coming in here for Cornerstone he’s checking in as Blake
Stewart or Conor Dy Paul Wilson’s a good substitute right here because he checks a well answorth out now but he he he’s given a good spark tonight and played solid defense forced a few turnovers knocked down a couple free throws and having that big presence is huge for College of Idaho dyman though very athletic underneath
Morgan over on the left wing under 15 minutes to play hrin now with it bounce pass down to the low post Rogers Rises and puts it in with the left [Applause] hand stepen now over on the left [Applause] side lead back to double digits here for C
Ofi back to stepan they go here on the near side Stefan lobs this one over to the far Corner down low they Go reverse layup is blocked by Wilson Rogers the other way Rogers over to handron hrin handing this one off peoples had it deflected and Morgan will
Back it up back to Rogers they go Rogers backing his Man Down picks up his dribble through traffic and a foul Rogers getting bailed out there but last time down for the College of Idaho Rogers the Rocky Mountain Prospect doing a good job of posting up and then
Getting his bad with the back to the rim we’ll take a timeout here with 1410 left to go as we head to break we’ll take a look at this block yeah Paul Wilson we talked about him being a spark Dy very athletic spin move comes up and Paul
Wilson able to block it and handron carals it to the other end and drawing a foul shot for Two Shots coming up for College of Idaho 1410 left to play here from the Jake in Caldwell about 40 minutes or so from downtown boisey here in Canyon County got a big of a bit of a slugfest going on tonight compared to the track meet last night where College of Idaho put up triple digits and Cornerstone
Though leading by double digits only 11 at this point and you can see defensively and we’ll just call it fundamentally such a sound team Cornerstone representing really well against this very good College of Idaho team number three in the country Stratton Rogers is at the line he knocks
Down his first second one though is left short and Cornerstone now with 14 minutes left to play we’ll bring this up the trail by 12 eigh seated are the Eagles number one seed College of Idaho leading the way here Yota rank third in the entire country number one in this quarter of
The bracket here’s a three straight away that’s no good Wilson the tallest one amongst the trees there as he grabs it right side they go with Peoples Peoples still with it and he puts this one off glassing in that was crafty cuz peoples hesitated and just lofted it up over the hand of
Dyman dyman got cut underne neath the backboard douge buckets they call him here in Caldwell douge buckets got to love it germer has been very quiet tonight I think he only has one shot attempt and he was a huge part last night came in and I think he had eight points but he
Was a spark plug knocking down a couple of three-pointers Cornerstone inbound on the Baseline tipped by Wilson and it’s stolen by The Oaks peoples now over to handr handred tosses this one to Wilson back to peoples these circles we let this one fly let’s go douge buckets
Again let’s go dougy buckets and just from the elbow coming around a pick and you saw him use the pick and then create some space to release ooh good looking that was Mason Brooks as he knocked that one down from long range Brooks that’s his job like he comes in and he shoots
Threes and that’s what they do whistle a foul away from the ball coming against Cornerstone they’re going to get Blake Stewart and that’s so four on Stewart it was it it is for so handren is is a decoy he was a starting point guard last year for the
National championship team he comes in and coaches asked him to take a different role to coordinate the second unit but he’s a decoy he’s not going to shoot the ball ball he never does and yet he still draws double teams and Defenders Rogers turn around jump shot can’t connect Cornerstone the other way
Now at 12 and a half to play Stephen to anworth had it stripped and stolen by Rogers handron now trying to get to the rim handron still with it and he’s fouled so handren was listening to me and he said Ryan I’m not a decoy I’m GNA
Attack the rim and he does just that and is able to pick up draw the foul he’s done it he’s pretty crafty getting to the rim too and you watch him he does it with some hesitation moves and taking long steps and drawing contact Kaden handron to the line here the
Junior will miss on the first one out of Scooby Montana Montana douge peop Montana got a few few Montana boys here I think Drew Wyman’s Montana too isn’t he both of them are the Gatorade players of the year in Montana we’re we’re told turns out College V has two of them it’s impressive no wonder they’re ranked third in the country defending national
Champions absolutely this one deflected stolen by handron one of those players of the year they go to peoples back to handred over to peoples lets this one fly no good but right to Wilson and he’s fouled and he’ll go to the line well we’re going to say that was a
Pass by douge because it went right to Paul Wilson and uh what a way to make a path I’m kidding it’s rare you see douge peoples miss a miss a shot like that well when he does it falls right into the hands of one of his teammates forus
Miss and Wilson misses on his first always say that good teams get good bounces that was one of them absolutely you and I did a a tournament just a couple weeks ago and that was the that was our Mantra good teams get get good bounces like that CI getting another one
People trying to take advantage of it left it short I saw that short out of his hand just from the angle where we are the other way Cornerstone just under 12 minutes to play answorth pump fakes drives pump fakes again and a foul is on the floor
They say so no free throws coming up basket’s good though so this is this could be a four-point play this is one of those rare four- pointers so bucket counts and Cornerstone inbound on the Baseline so potential four or fivepoint trip here for Cornerstone and stolen on the
Inbound Cornerstone a little upset with how that play out walock looking for a call that he didn’t get so we just got word tonight’s attendance 1682 here at the Jack and I think there were a few more people last night yeah I mean it’s it’s packed here
Tonight here’s a three that’s it and out okay one of the better misses is dougy peoples comes in and cleans up the rebound so for perspective the enrollment here the College of Idaho is 11:35 so I always think that’s a cool comparison when we do c ofi games let’s
The attendance versus the enrollment as this three Off the Mark but the putback is up and good from zma that was a beautiful put back tough shot off glass no rebound going to Wilson puts this one out and the Ys getting another shot at it here with Rogers shoulders must showing all kinds
Of athleticism catching get and finishing it in the air at the same time Rogers fading away left it short rebound grabbed by Cornerstone 5543 much lower scoring game here tonight for the oats here’s a three straightway back for him no Rogers grabs the rebound quickly up to Peoples Peoples on
The left wing toss back to Rogers is going to set it up as we approach the 10-minute [Applause] Mark flip this over to handren handren on the right side he now go to the far pocket eight to shoot for the oats holding it in the corner peoples
For to shoot he puts it on the floor spinning to the cup floats it no there for the rebound put back no good for Rogers but Paul Wilson is there and the AL to get a third crack at it oh that’s heartbreaking for Cornerstone works so hard to force a
Shot and just not able to grab the rebound and a fourth opportunity now for C ofi and Wilson is fouled 937 to play as we hit the next media timeout we’ll be right back here 5543 our score yolks sling [Applause] Cornerstone one of the former Yol employees Daniel
Brazil current executive director of the famous Idaho Potato Bowl in the house here tonight one of the nearly 1700 in attendance here tonight from The Jig 1,700 and they’re loud and we I think there were a few more people last night but it doesn’t matter this crowd still rockus but uh Cornerstone been
Able to keep him and check a bit tonight and not allowed the big hot runs that they experienced last night Ys with it out of the timeout nice spin a turn but they can’t cash in is Jake O’Neal so technically that should have been a double dribble you want to know
Why he had the ball in both hands and he touched the ground at the same time I learned that the hard way in junior basketball oh did you got got whacked for it h as J Duro knocks this one down shoulders M grabbed the rebound came
Down and you could see such a critical part of this team there’s Robinette up top will toss this one over to Morgan under nine minutes to play Morgan give this back to Robinette wide open three for Robinette back rim no good the rebound Tracked Down by Cornerstone but then they throw it
Away it’s Kaden bird not on the same page this team there call those unforced errors and speaking of Robin Ed he’s now missed his last five shots atypical for him he is to him for him to move lose Excuse Me Miss five shots in a row it
Feels like he just wants to sit in a gym and maybe fire off about 15 three-pointers get him back on on point tend to shoot as Robin at bounce pass down low he’ll toss this one to Morgan for to shoot as Morgan lets it go that’s no good
Didn’t even draw contact with the rim there as the shot clock horn expires and it goes back to Cornerstone a 10 point CFI lead here with a25 to play plenty of time and plenty of time for Cornerstone to continue they come down here and they
Cut it down to seven or or eight points is the lead and they can just keep clawing their way back into this and all the starters are back on the floor now coach blae feeling like this is a pivotal moment if they’re going to keep the lead or
Not Step Back Fade Away good knocking that one down was rollinson and he has 11 and you cannot defend that Morgan the Baseline kick after Robinette and this one to a circling Wyman who lets this one go rebound aworth Cornerstone looking to take advantage rollinson all the way to the cup can’t get to go rebound pushed out of bounds back to the [Applause] oats
Colido looking for an answer here on offense if they got in a dry spell a bit cold and kind of get back to what gets them ticking penetration inside out and unfortunately not able to draw Iron even the last couple of times down CI has not made a field goal since
The 1118 Mark of this half robinet going to try to end the streak and does couldn’t have gone on all night Robinette it’s too good of a shooter too good of a player they come to their feet here at the Jake 7:15 to play bounce pass down to
Answorth anworth backs his Man Down sends the man to the floor no call and Cornerstone answers Morgan the other way Morgan to Robinette had it knocked out of his hands Cornerstone with numbers here’s Stephen through contact kick get that to go rebound put back no but a
Foul A little sloppy right these last two possessions have been a little sloppy uh T Robinette did hit that three-pointer which was fantastic Crowd Goes Crazy coach BL raises his hands but then it gets away from them and you see him fumbling the ball robin it not able
To hold on the inside and then Robin falls off on defense and you start seeing just how Stone staying in this game they have it down to eight as the first free throw is up and good under 7even minutes to [Applause] go and this is about the time that if
Cornerstone’s going to go on a run it’s going to be right now colge jido has to rise up and get a shot here if they’re going to stop this Cornerstone team seei with the ball here leading 58-51 Morgan on the right wing will drive along the base line circles kicks
Radford with it lost his footing and it goes back to Cornerstone there’s a little pocket of Cornerstone fans directly across from us at the top of the bleachers on the far sideline there’s I’m going to say about 10 of them they make some noise 11 they
11 the C ofi student section who has them outnumbered by quite a few making some noise here 6 and 1/2 to play stepen puts this one on the floor will now Circle back to the top of the arc 12 to shoot rollinson with it guarded by Morgan rollinson drives shoots can’t get
It to go rebound to CI good defensive stop and samaj Morgan got in position forced the a in shot so the rise up on defense they got it now they have to score some points Morgan d driving picks up his dribble stock on the low block has to
Swing this out back to Wyman Wyman to Radford he’s going to let this three go back R him no good but poked out was Robinette the Ys are going to get another chance Robinette won’t get credit for the rebound but he’s the reason they got it Radford will dial it up
Good Johnny Radford on makes it tough pushes it back to 10 and they really needed that burst Donnie Radford pushing the lead back to 10 stolen by Morgan Morgan come the other way two on two finding Rogers Rogers to Robinette gets it to go I think I think the defender aided
Him in getting the ball in tried for the dunk quick timeout Now by Cornerstone take a look at the Radford three here ball rotates around second three-point attempt jab steps comes Rises up over the top and second attempt on the same possession gets it to go down the second
Time 508 left the play 6351 our score you said just a few moments ago that if Cornerstone was going to go on a run it was right now the team that went on the Run was CFI absolutely and and Cornerstone was poised to do it they had
College of Idaho down they had College of Idaho force him into some erron shots and some stuff that they didn’t want to do off offensively and they were getting stops on defense but just offensively could not convert and samj Morgan I’m going to credit him he came down and
Just played position defense forced that Aaron shot forced the Miss and off of that they came down knocked down a three-pointer and then you saw uh Robinette with the attempt to dunk that I again I think the other guy I think the defender should get credit for the
Points but ball goes in and that’s a five-point swing so 508 left to play and a trip trip to the National quarterfinals here on the line it’s Cornerstone and CFI as we come down the stretch here 6351 our score the yolks tough to beat on this own floor they’re unbeaten on this floor
So far here this season this will be the last game played on this floor not in the gym but on the floor as col Idaho get a new floor here next year and see if I fans can actually buy that the piece of that floor if they want so there you
Go I uh the floor you were talking about the floor I couldn’t hear you the band was so loud I literally couldn’t hear you so if you’re talking about the floor I think it’s a great idea come buy a piece of that talk to the athletic department here but you know who’s been
Quiet so far is answorth and if you’re going to settle this you still have time with five minutes left there it is run the offense through answorth answorth on Wilson can’t get go rolls out on him Wilson just held his ground and keep your arms up and answorth really trying
To find some some room there had a good look not able to convert but that’s good defense Morgan driv Baseline reverse layup is good so quick to the hole aworth again on Wilson and this time he gets it to go and tough tough to defend that Wilson
Did the right thing and just keeping his his feet because you don’t want to draw a foul in an and one 420 left to play C ofi with the lead in the ball here with Rogers Morgan now with it he’s on the Baseline now back his Defender down PP fake spins turns
Gets the bucket and the foul S Morgan to the line for another and CMI starting to put a stamp on this one yeah take a look at some a Morgan going Baseline here and the reverse layup with the left hand a bit The Tall Timbers then he comes back
Around and hits the next bucket chance for an and one here we get a chance we’ll take a look at it 6753 the lead as Morgan heads to the line for his bonus free throw and of a stoppage in play here take a look at Morgan with the
Underhand scoop just able to finish and I think he might have been as surprise as everybody else when that thing went in ch’s now talking to head coach Kobe Blaine here for the College of Idaho and we’re ready for the free throw [Applause] now Morgan to the line free throw up and
Good and that’s a big swing cuz that pushes it to a 15-point lead and it wasn’t too long ago that that was it to seven so now they flipped it and they they they they’ve gone in an 80 run to get it to this point Stephen floats this
One down to rollinson In and Out and then back in rollinson a really soft touch and you saw that running high low and col J Idaho giving that spot up and if rollinson can continue to hit that doesn’t matter if it’s answorth or rollinson that shot’s going to be open
Three and a half left to play Morgan pulls up from the elbow good and now Morgan’s feeling it he’s scor the last seven points for College of Idaho and really been a huge and he was the one defensively that forced this thing he’s got 16 toight answorth
Pump fake stripped and a foul on Morgan yeah he probably got him the the problem was is Wilson left his feet you do not leave your feet against answorth you play him straight up and make him shoot over the top and Morgan coming in from behind
Hacked at him but ANS were so masterful I can’t say enough about him he’s he’s probably I’ve been more impressed with him than any other player so far that we’ve seen in this part of the tournament lead is 15 for the oats 318 left to [Applause] play notes three minutes and change away
From the sweet 16 as this is knocked home by rollinson or rather Mason Brooks rather Brooks he he’s their three-point a shooter they bring him in just to shoot threes see by really going to slow down the tempo now leading by 12 Morgan at the top of the key bounce
Pass down to Wilson Wilson nice find underneath to Morgan as he’s fouled Morgan just kind of snuck snuck under there that is such a dynamic play cuz they they set the two big men up as in a pick situation and then they then they back pick for each other they run a
Man off of it and then the backside they run a too many picks I’m talking about anyway Morgan gives the ball up to one of the big men and then catches a back pick he heads to the hole and the idea is getting him down down underneath able
To con convert the first free throw and uh that’s a that’s a very Advanced baseball baseball basketball this game that we’re playing is basketball tonight but an advanced basketball playall earlier I was at baseball earlier Morgan connects on his two free throws getting to be that time of the
Year here in the Treasure Valley [Applause] Cornerstone with it now they need some some points and they need him in a hurry ret a tough shot no Morgan there for the rebound little bit of desperation now and you can see forcing some shots College of Idaho locking down again
They’re going to run the same thing double pick to the top get it to the low post now you can run multiple things off of it Wyman floats this one to Wilson Wilson kick out Radford Radford gets a screen right he’ll go right pulls up from the free throw line and
Hits boy not a lot you can do with that rollinson shaking his heads thinking Mana had good defense Radford has some Hops at 6 foot 6-1 there’s a three straight away that’s no good and Wilson grabs the rebound under two minutes to play here from calwell yeah two minutes in a 16-point
Lead and at this point I don’t it may be too little too late well it is too little too late let’s be honest Morgan has it Morgan pulls up from the elbow through contact no call Rogers is there for the rebound gives off to Radford and
He floats this one to Wyman Wyman to Morgan Morgan no good the rebound going to Corner St couple of looks there able to eat some shot clock though on the left elbow this is answorth answorth swings this one back to the top of the key enters shooting stepen
Good and Stefan you kind of have to ask yourself where that’s been all night I feels like he could have got to the middle of the lane showing a soft touch but with a minute left and it looks like they’re not going to foul College of Idaho just going to run this thing
Out C ofi leading by 14 as we have under a minute to play Morgan Blows By His Defender finds Wilson back to Morgan off glass no good Cornerstone grabbed the rebound steep in the other way 45 seconds to play here’s a three from the top of the key that’s no good rolls off
The rim grabbing the rebound is Wyman gives it back to Morgan we’ll have to shoot it one more time but CMI could book its trip to the Sweet 16 as they foul Morgan jesture here Luke seconds here in the niia [Applause] tournament and here comes the crowd favorite Beaver [Applause]
Sinclair one of a few Subs coming up for CI Tyler Harris also checking in along with Ethan titty and Aaron strings all checking in here for CI the third line you could [Applause] say so Morgan to the [Applause] line Morgan’s got 18 points here tonight
As we have a whistle before we got a shot clock issue above the the yeah they’re having issues with the clock on this end of the floor it’s still working on the opposite end of the floor but the can we just agree that maybe we don’t need it okay there we
Go let the St Patrick’s Day sweet 16 celebration here in Caldwell slightly delayed due to the shot clock and rims out under 30 to play as Cornerstone grabs the rebound cuts through off glass no good rebound and putback is good that was Luke vandorf and with 18 seconds to go no
Shot clock Morgan will bring this one across and see if I is going to win it boy what a valiant effort by Cornerstone un unity and they came in with a game plan and did a good job of executing it just not enough baskets made and defensively holding him to 74 points I
Would call that a victory just not enough shots made but uh coach Elders did a good job of prepping his guys to come in versus his number three team in the country so College of Idaho wins it here tonight on St Patrick’s Day your final score
74-62 C ofi on to the corner finals they round to 16 where they will play the winner of Moma and shaie state as that game going on in over in Michigan so they’ll play the winner of that game and the round of 16 the yotes back
Into the round of 16 as they get win number 30 here tonight the seventh time in program history the yots have hit that Mark in the sixth time in the last seven years yeah and and for College of Idaho different people with different performances and same results so samj
Morgan coming in with 18 points he was seven for 14 from the field 0 for three from the three-point line but did a lot around the basket and was phenomenal creating for other people but with him getting so deep in that penetration they were able to do a lot some of the other
Contributors Drew Wyman with 12 and Johnny Radford really we talked about him getting hot Johnny radford’s an issue when he’s shooting threes like that knocked in 13 points Robin it with 11 on the other side and I can’t say enough about Cory answorth absolutely phenomenal the guy is 6’9 and masterful
He steps out to 18 ft knocks stuff down and you know I I see this guy playing next level maybe not NBA maybe NBA but uh if he wants a professional career there’s a lot of basketball around the around the world and they are always they always need skilled big man and
Answorth just stepping up his gain 21 points tonight Luke rollinson with 15 points well by jerso with 12 so you see C ofi there it’s Center Court getting their picture taken with the region trophy as they win the first of second rounds here from the College of Idaho
Another trophy to add to the already crowded trophy case for CFI but they have their sights set much higher than this one they want to be playing in Kansas City here in a couple weeks since they slapped the Yol sticker on the board which has the tournament bracket on top of it
Yolks now celebrating with their students here at Center Court and just about do it for us here tonight CMI winning this one 7462 over Cornerstone for Ryan Luke my name is Lucas Gart the oats onto the quarterfinals into the round of 16 and we’ll see you there
