FORT WAYNE, Ind. - The IPFW Mastodons never trailed, and were tied just once, in an 80-64 win over the Dartmouth Big Green in the school's Homecoming Game, in front of 2,175 fans at the Memorial Coliseum.
Luis Jacobo led five Mastodons (7-4) in double-figures with 23 points, while three players - Pierre Bland, Isaiah McCray, and Mo Evans - each scored 11, as Joe Edwards chipped in 10. Jacobo pulled down a team-high six rebounds, with the Mastodons narrowly out-rebounding the Big Green 33-to-32.
Bland dished out a team-best three assists with two others, Edwards and Jacobo, dishing out two. Bland and Jacobo each picked up three steals, with Joe Reed adding the team's only blocked shot.
The Mastodons and Big Green (3-3) traded baskets on each program's first possession of the game, before the Mastodons got a pair of free throws from Michael Kibiloski and a three-pointer by McCray to put the Mastodons ahead 7-3, and the team never looked back again.
Dartmouth twice closed the gap to two points in the first five minutes of the game, as the Mastodons led by six at 22-16 after a lay-in by the Big Green's Tommy Carpenter, before the Mastodons ran off a 10-0 run - eight of those points coming from Edwards with the Chicago native assisting on the other two points - putting the hosts ahead by 16.
The margin increased to as many as 18 in the opening half on an Evans free throw, before the visitors knocked down a basket late in the half to send the Mastodons into the locker room with a 40-24 lead.
The IPFW advantage never dipped into single digits the rest of the way, increasing the lead to as many as 25 halfway through the second half, as the Mastodons cruised to the 80-64 win.
IPFW made 27-of-48 (56.3%) of its shots from the field, while converting on 7-of-17 from long range (41.2%), and 19-of-31 (61.3%) from the charity stripe. Defensively the Mastodons held Dartmouth to 42.4% shooting from the field, holding the team's two leading scorers to a combined five points in the game.
The squad returns to action on Tuesday, December 10, when the squad faces off against the Bradley Braves in Peoria, Ill.
