Butte, Mont. \u2013<\/strong> The University of Jamestown men’s basketball team played the number nine Montana Tech Diggers in Montana on Saturday evening. The Jimmies first-half deficit proved to be too much to overcome as they fell 67-84 to the Diggers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW IT HAPPENED<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jimmies showed a promising first eight minutes, quickly gaining a 14-6 lead. The Jimmies lead was short-lived as their shots struggled to fall against the Digger defense, and they were outscored 33-8 for the remainder of the half.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anthony Walters<\/a>\u00a0had nine points for the Jimmies in the first half.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jimmies more than doubled their points in the second half and played an even-scoring game with the Diggers, as each team put up 45 points. The Jimmies also improved from nine rebounds to 15.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite their competitive second half, the Jimmies could not compensate for their 17-point deficit from the first.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walters put up 13 more points for a 22-point game total.\u00a0Owen Hektner<\/a>\u00a0joined him in double digits with 12 points. Hektner also led rebounding with six.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jimmies hit 10 from behind the arc, with Walters and Hektner each hitting three, for 40%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
