Jamestown (uj.edu) — For 23 minutes and 55 seconds, the Jimmie men’s basketball team was unable to get much separation from a scrappy Trinity Bible College squad.
However, a 27-0 second half run turned a seven-point game into a 34-point cushion, and Jamestown rolled to an 86-47 win over the Lions Tuesday night at Harold Newman Arena.
Jon Purintun (JR/Linton, N.D.) scored to put UJ up 2-0 11 seconds into the contest, but Trinity Bible used a 7-0 run to take a five-point lead. The Lions led for nearly six-and-a-half mintues until a Sam Johnson (SR/Mora, Minn.) three-pointer gave the Jimmies a 15-14 lead with 12:19 in the half.
