NIC Nears Title w/Win Over Rival CSI

Where they’ve excelled for the last month, the Golden Eagles fell apart on Friday (in Twin Falls). After grinding out numerous wins in the clutch while winning seven of eight Scenic West Athletic Conference games, the College of Southern Idaho men’s basketball team suffered through late miscues and missed shots in taking an 80-75 home loss to No. 11 North Idaho College. ... “It was a big game for our guys and we came out a little bit tight.” In the final four minutes, CSI missed three wide-open 3-pointers that could have tied the game. Down 74-68 with a minute to play, another miscue put the nail in CSI’s coffin. Chuck Odum poked the ball away from NIC at midcourt, but Pierre Jackson missed his dunk attempt and North Idaho’s Renado Parker capped his 19-point night with an open layup on the other end/Mike Christensen, Twin Falls Times-News.
