Sioux Falls, SD The Jamestown Jimmies Men’s Basketball team, in the NAIA Division II National Tournament, Quarter Finals, Wednesday morning in Sioux Falls, SD, defeated Southeastern Florida, 106-85.
Jamestown next plays Spring Arbor, Michigan, Friday at 8:30-a.m, in the Round of 16.
Spring Arbor won on Wednesday, 85-50 over Indiana Tech in the Quarter Final.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D.– (uj.edu) – Terrell Alfred (JR/Orlando, FL)’s career-high 30 points and 10 rebouns helped lead the 10th-ranked University of Jamestown men’s basketball team to a 106-85 win over No. 24 Southeastern (Fla.) in the opening round of the NAIA Division II Men’s Baskeball National Championship.
Jamestown (29-5) advances to face No. 7 Spring Arbor (Mich.) (26-7) Friday morning at 8:30.
Alfred scored 25 of his 30 points in the second half as the Jimmies used a 20-7 run to turn an eight-point lead into a 21-point cushion.
Brock Schrom (SO/Grand Rapids, MN) aided Alfred’s second half efforts, as he had 16 of his 24 points after the break.
UJ led 71-63 after Dylan Causwell converted a three-point play for SEU, then went up 10 points after Kevin Oberweiser (SR/Drummond, MT) sank a pair of free throws five seconds later, and would lead by no fewer than 10 the rest of the game.
A 21-7 run lasting 3:20 put Jamestown up by 22 with 5:40 to play and all but ended Southeastern’s hopes of pulling off the upset. While the Jimmies shot only two free throws in the first half, an increased effort to drive the ball to the rim in the second half resulted in SEU committing 18 fouls that led to 26 free throw attempts.
In the first half, UJ led 32-18 following a Jack Talley (SO/Sioux Falls, SD) basket at 7:27. SEU outscored the Jimmies 14-4 over the next 4:51 and found themselves down only four before Jamestown closed out the half with 11 of the final 18 points. The first two minutes featured three lead changes and two ties before UJ took the lead for good just at the 18:00 mark of the first.
Oberweiser finished with 19 to join Alfred and Schrom in double figures. Schrom also grabbed eight rebounds and blocked three shots.
Causwell led the Fire (20-10) with 17 points off the bench. Jeremy Oppenheimer and Josiah Barsh finished with 16 and Quennel Francis chipped in with 15.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The manager of a horse racing track in Fargo has been fired for derogatory remarks he allegedly made on social media about two people opposed to a bill in the Legislature that would financially help the park.
The head of the board of directors for the North Dakota Horse Park tells KFGO radio he had no choice but to fire manager Mike Schmitz after Schmitz wrote on Facebook that one of the men who has spoken out against the bill was cheating on his wife and is a cocaine user.
Board leader Levi Otis says the vote to fire Schmitz was unanimous.
The legislative proposal would help the track pay off a large special assessment bill to the city of Fargo.
Schmitz didn’t return phone messages left by The Associated Press.
In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) — Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer, has turned over documents to the House Intelligence Committee that are related to a Trump real estate project in Moscow.
That’s according to a person familiar with the matter who isn’t authorized to publicly discuss Cohen’s closed-door appearance before the committee and is speaking on condition of anonymity.
The committee interview Cohen last week, and the chairman, Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California, said afterward that lawmakers asked Cohen to bring additional documents for his second day of interviews.
The person familiar with the matter says Cohen brought documents pertaining to the Moscow project, which eventually was abandoned.
He pleaded guilty last year to lying to Congress, campaign finance violations and other charges and is set to begin a three-year prison sentence in May.
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — As climate change becomes a hotter topic in American classrooms, politicians around the country are pushing back against the scientific consensus that global warming is real and man-made.
A Connecticut lawmaker wants to strike climate change from state science standards. A Virginia legislator worries teachers are indoctrinating students with their personal views on global warming. And an Oklahoma state senator wants educators to be able to introduce alternative ideas without fear of losing their jobs.
Of the more than a dozen such measures proposed so far this year, some already have failed. But they have emerged this year in growing numbers, many of them inspired or directly encouraged by a pair of advocacy groups.
Climate scientists have blasted such proposals for sowing confusion and doubt.
CHICAGO (AP) — A lawyer for a Georgia couple who say their daughter is being held against her will by R. Kelly lashed out after a television interview with the R&B singer.
Timothy and Jonjelyn Savage say it’s been two years since they heard from their daughter, 23-year-old Joycelyn Savage. They say Kelly won’t let her contact them, which Kelly denied in his interview with “CBS This Morning.”
The couple’s attorney, Gerald Griggs, bristled at Kelly’s assertions that the Savages offered up their daughter to him and were in it for the money. Griggs said Wednesday that “at no point did this family sell their daughter to anyone or provide their daughter for anything for money.”
Griggs says the family has never asked for or received money from Kelly.
The 52-year-old singer was charged last month in Chicago with sexually abusing four females dating back to 1998, including three underage girls.
BEIRUT (AP) — Russia and Syria have urged the U.S. to allow tens of thousands of people to leave a refugee camp in southern Syria.
In a joint statement Wednesday, the Russian and Syrian refugee coordination centers accused the U.S. of keeping 40,000 people in the Rukban camp against their will.
They pointed to poor conditions in the camp near the border with Jordan and said that U.S.-affiliated rebels have effectively kept people there hostage.
The statement rejected the U.S. argument that Syria can’t provide safe accommodation to residents of the camp, arguing that the Syrian government has built facilities in several provinces to accommodate people from Rukban. It emphasized that Damascus has guaranteed their full security.
Russian and Syrian officials urged the U.N. to intervene and help evacuate the camp.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — As iPhone sales slip, Apple has been positioning its booming digital-services business as its new profit engine. But there could be a snag in that plan.
A brewing backlash against the rich commissions Apple earns from all purchases and subscriptions made via iPhone apps could undercut the app store, which generates about a third of the company’s services revenue.
Late last year, Netflix rebelled against Apple’s fees, which can range from 15 percent to 30 percent. Analysts fear other companies may follow.
Attorneys representing consumers in a pending Supreme Court case also charge that Apple is an unfair monopolist in the market for iPhone apps. An adverse decision could open a legal door that might eventually force Apple to cut its generous commissions.
