IPFW Wins 6th-Straight, Defeats UNCG 64-58
11/28/2015 10:39:00 PM | Men's Basketball
GREENSBORO, N.C. – Redshirt-senior Max Landis scored a game-high 14 points to lead IPFW to a 64-58 men's college basketball victory past UNCG of the Southern Conference Saturday night during the second of three games in the Spartan Showcase at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina. Redshirt-freshman John Konchar added 13 points and a game-high nine rebounds for the Mastodons (6-1), who won their sixth consecutive contest, and are off to their best start to a season as a Division I program. Kayel Locke scored 13 points for the host Spartans (2-3). IPFW will conclude play in the exempt event on Sunday afternoon, November 29, against Navy of the Patriot League at the Greensboro Coliseum in North Carolina beginning at 12:30 p.m.
IPFW took an early 9-7 advantage just 5:39 into the contest after back-to-back baskets inside by redshirt-sophomore Racine Talla, the latter score on an offensive rebound tip-dunk. The Mastodons led 15-9 at 9:20 following a jumper inside from redshirt-junior Brent Calhoun, and it was a 20-12 margin for the visitors at 5:54 on a layup by Konchar. UNCG cut it to 20-17 at 3:45 on a three-point field goal by Francis Alonso, but IPFW outscored the Spartans 7-3 to the first-half buzzer to lead 27-20 at the intermission, the final points of the period on a three-pointer from junior DeAngelo Stewart. Nine different Mastodons scored during the opening 20 minutes, led by six points on two three-pointers by junior Mo Evans.
IPFW continued its momentum to start the second half, as Evans opened with another three-pointer to make it 30-22 at 17:55. A pair of free throws by senior Joe Reed with 14:59 remaining made it 35-27, and two more charity tosses from Konchar had the Mastodons ahead 40-29 at 13:01. Senior Michael Calder nailed a three-pointer from the right wing with 11:50 to play that gave IPFW its largest lead at 46-33. A Calhoun basket inside at 5:48 had the visitors in front 55-45, before UNCG made a late 11-4 run to close to within 59-56 with just under a minute to play. Landis made two free throws with 52.3 seconds on the clock, before Konchar closed the game with 1-2 at the line with 21.5-seconds left and a fast break slam dunk at :09.
Landis led IPFW with his game-high 14 points, including 6-7 free throws. Konchar added 13 points, including 5-6 free throws, along with his game-high nine rebounds for the Mastodons, followed by Evans with nine points. Calder finished with eight points, and Reed had seven points. IPFW shot 43% (21-49) from the field, including 40% (8-20) on three-pointers and 88% (14-16) at the free throw line. The Mastodons outscored UNCG 26-18 in the paint, and 16-6 in points off turnovers, forcing 13 by the Spartans.
Locke led UNCG with his 13 points, while Alonso added 12 points and RJ White had 11 points and a game-high nine rebounds. The Spartans shot 36% (21-58) from the field, including 29% (7-24) on three-pointers and 75% (9-12) at the line.
It was the first-ever meeting between the two schools in men's basketball, as IPFW now leads the series against UNCG, 1-0.
The 6-1 start to the season by IPFW is its finest since first playing a Division I schedule in 2001-02, and matches a 6-1 start made by the Mastodons during 1996-97 as a Division II program. The 1988-89 squad began its season with 11-straight wins (11-0).
