FORT WAYNE, Ind. -- Redshirt-senior Max Landis/Indianapolis scored 17 points to lead IPFW to a 79-74 men's college basketball Summit League home victory past North Dakota State University on Thursday night at the Hilliard Gates Sports Center in Fort Wayne. Redshirt-freshman John Konchar/Chicago, Ill. grabbed a game and career-high 19 rebounds, along with 10 points, for his third consecutive and sixth double-double this season for the host Mastodons (16-5, 5-1 Summit League), ranked No. 21 in this week's The CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25. Konchar tied the school Division I single-game rebounding record, and it equals the third-best single-game total all-time. Kory Brown and Paul Miller led the visiting Bison (13-7, 3-3 Summit League) with their respective 23-point efforts, also a career-high for Brown. IPFW remains in Fort Wayne to host in-state school IUPUI at the Gates Sports Center on Saturday night, January 23, at 7 p.m.
The well-played contest featured 10 lead changes and seven ties throughout, as IPFW started fast and led by as many as seven points in the first half. It was 17-10 at 13:38 after a three-point field goal by junior DeAngelo Stewart/Detroit, Mich., and it was 22-15 at 11:01 following a jumper from freshman Charles Ruise Jr./Glen St. Mary, Fla. NDSU used a 13-2 run to go ahead 28-24 at 5:49, getting eight quick points from Brown. The Mastodons battled back to lead 34-33 at 2:57 after a three-pointer by Konchar, but the Bison took a 37-36 lead at the intermission.
NDSU continued its momentum to begin the second half, scoring 10 unanswered points to take its largest lead of the game at 53-46 with 15:39 remaining. Khy Kabellis scored seven of the points, while Brown added a three-pointer. The Bison still led by five points at 59-54 with 10:23 left after a layup from Brown, however, IPFW displayed the resilience it has demonstrated all season and responded with a 14-3 run to lead 68-62 at 1:27 following a pair of free throws by Landis, who gave the hosts the lead for good at 63-62 (6:02) on a layup. The Mastodons largest lead of the game was 76-68 with just 13 seconds on the clock, as the home team secured the triumph with 14-17 free throws over the final 4:03. Landis was 5-6, senior Joe Reed/Greenwood was 4-5, Konchar was 3-4 and Ruise Jr. was 2-2.
