JAMESTOWN\u00a0 (UJ.edu) — A 22-5 second-half run by the Jimmie men’s basketball team turned a 20-point Dickinson State lead with 11 minutes remaning into a three-point nailbiter just six minutes later.\u00a0In the end, the conference leading Blue Hawks staved off the Jamestown comeback bid and came away with a 79-72 win Friday evening at Harold Newman Arena.<\/p>\n

Jon Purintun<\/a> (JR\/Linton, N.D.) scored 24 of his game-high 28 points in the second half, including 18 of the Jimmies’ 27 points in an eight-minute stretch. Purintun’s basket with 5:15 to play put Jamestown within three points at 66-63.<\/p>\n

The Blue Hawks scored nine of the next 12 points to go up by nine (75-66) after Jerry Shelvin drained a bucket with 2:01 remaining, and that proved to be the the final dagger for the home team.<\/p>\n

UJ led 24-16 with 4:57 left in the first half, but Dickinson State reeled off 16 of the next 18 points to lead 32-26 two and a half minutes later. The Blue Hawks led 37-30 at the half.<\/p>\n
