LUMBERJACKS, 57-53
Coaches will tell you the first few minutes of the second half can be crucial, especially between two evenly matched teams.
It may have been Thursday night.
NAU came out of halftime, saw Eastern score the first two points, then went on a 7-1 run to get separation and has kept it since.
Thanks to an Eastern defense that just can’t seem to keep track of Sir.
The 6-foot-5 senior from Canada, who was hitting half of his 3-pointers coming in, seemed to be invisible to EWU’s perimeter defenders.
He was so open at one shot he could have straightened his curly hair before he sized up a 3-pointer, which he hit, of course. He is 5 of 7 from there and has 17 points.
And the Eagles have missed three more free throws in the first 8 minutes of the second half.
We’ll be back at the end of the game for a link to the game story.
