SIOUX CITY, Iowa–\u00a0 (UJ<\/a>)\u00a0<\/strong> The University of Jamestown men’s basketball team defeated its second Top-11 ranked squad in the last week, taking a 76-67 decision over No. 9 Morningside College Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (15-5, 11-4 GPAC) extended its winning streak, which began last Wednesday with a 74-66 defeat over then No. 11 Dakota Wesleyan (S.D.), to three games. UJ also won the season series against the conference-leading Mustangs.<\/p>\n

Morningside (17-3 overall, 13-3 GPAC) had its seven-game winning streak come to a close, losing for just the second time since December 16.<\/p>\n

Allante’ Pickens<\/a> (SR\/Chicago, IL) had a season-high 21 points off the bench, making five of nine three-point attempts, to lead the Jimmies. Cole Woodford<\/a> (FR\/Redwood Falls, MN) added 13 and four assists, while Marc Kjos<\/a> (SO\/Lake City, MN) was also in double figures with 12.<\/p>\n

Mason Walters<\/a> (SO\/Jamestown, ND) pulled down 21 rebounds, the second 20+ rebound game for the sophomore. Jack Talley<\/a> (SR\/Sioux Falls, SD) also passed the 1,000 career point mark, becoming the 31st UJ player to do so.<\/p>\n

The Mustangs led 14-7 at the 11:55 mark of the first half, but the Jimmies outscored Morningside 25-11 over the rest of the half to lead 32-25 at the break. Neither team shot particularly well in the opening 20 minutes, with UJ making 12-of-31 shots, 7-of-20 from three-point range, and the Mustangs making 12-of-39 attempts and missing all five tries beyond the arc.<\/p>\n

Morningside came out hot in the second half, opening with a 14-6 run to take a one-point lead at the 14:17 mark. Six ties and five lead changes later, UJ took the lead for good on a Woodford three that broke a 52-all tie with 6:07 to play.<\/p>\n

Jamestown would lead by as many six points only to see the Mustangs rally to cut the lead to one with 2:06 left. Kjos knocked down a three on the Jimmies’ next possession, starting a 10-2 run to finish the game.<\/p>\n

Trey Brown had 21 points and 18 rebounds for Morningside. Zach Imig was also in double figures with 13 points, and added 11 rebounds and eight assists.<\/p>\n
