IPFW Earns Last-Second Win At Cal Poly 75-73 On Mo Evans Jumper
12/3/2015 11:58:00 PM | Men's Basketball
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – Junior Mo Evans made a game-winning 16-foot jumper from the left elbow with 2.3-seconds remaining to lead IPFW to a thrilling 75-73 men's college basketball road victory at Cal Poly of the Big West Conference Thursday night at the Mott Athletics Center in San Luis Obispo, California. Evans finished with 11 points for the Mastodons (7-2), who are off to their best start to a season as a Division I program, while redshirt-senior Max Landis led the visitors with a game-high 16 points. Luke Meikle scored 16 points, off the bench, for the host Mustangs (4-3), who had their eight-game, non-conference home winning streak stopped. IPFW will play again on Saturday afternoon, December 5, at Utah of the Pac-12 Conference at the Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City, Utah beginning at 2 p.m. ET., to be televised on the Pac-12 Network.
IPFW took an early 8-5 advantage at 16:34 after a pair of free throws by senior Joe Reed that followed two quick baskets inside from redshirt-junior Brent Calhoun and a layup by junior DeAngelo Stewart, off the bench. Cal Poly answered with six-straight points from David Nwaba to lead 11-8 at 14:33, but the Mastodons battled back with a 12-5 run to lead 20-16 with 12:25 on the clock, getting points from four different players, including four by Reed and a three-point field goal from redshirt-freshman John Konchar. IPFW extended the run to 17-8 for a 25-19 lead at 11:08, capped by another three-pointer, this one from senior Michael Calder, off the bench. The Mustangs rallied back and finally tied it at 35-35 with 3:29 left until the break, but the Mastodons closed the period strong by outscoring Cal Poly 14-6 to lead 49-41 at halftime. Reed (11), Evans (9) and Calder (8) led the first-half scoring efforts.
IPFW took its largest lead early in the second half at 55-46 with 16:35 remaining after back-to-back three-pointers by Landis and Stewart. Cal Poly ran off seven unanswered points to get within 55-53 at 13:49, and the Mustangs led 61-57 at 9:09 as they extended their run to 15-2. The game was tied at 63-63 with 6:39 left following consecutive three-pointers by Landis and Stewart, again. Cal Poly scored the next six points to lead 71-65 at 3:54, its largest lead, before IPFW refused to lose and fought back behind Stewart (71-68, 3:25) and Landis (71-71, 1:28) three-pointers, yet again, and a jumper by Stewart tied it at 73-73 with 40-seconds to play. The Mastodons got the stop on the defensive end of the floor to gain possession for the heroics of Evans, who made the high-arching shot from near the left elbow with 2.3-seconds on the clock. Following a timeout, the Mustangs missed on their desperation three-point attempt from near midcourt.
Landis led IPFW with his game-high 16 points, including 4-9 three-pointers, adding six assists. Stewart added a career-high 15 points, making 6-7 shots from the field, including 3-4 three pointers for the Mastodons. Evans and Reed each contributed 11 points, while Calder finished with eight points. IPFW shot 48% (28-59) from the field, including 47% (14-30) on three-pointers and 63% (5-8) at the free throw line.
Meikle led Cal Poly with his 16 points, while Nwaba added 11 points and Reese Morgan had 10 points, off the bench. The Mustangs shot 44% (27-61) from the field, including 41% (7-17) on three-pointers and 60% (12-20) at the line.
It was the just the second meeting between the two schools in men's basketball, as IPFW evened the series against Cal Poly, 1-1. The Mastodons avenged a 71-57 setback to the Mustangs last Dec. 30 in Fort Wayne.
