Mastodons Fall to Omaha in Summit League Semifinals
3/11/2019 11:56:00 PM | Men's Basketball
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - John Konchar's 3-point attempt for the win at the buzzer was just off the mark as Purdue Fort Wayne men's basketball fell to Omaha 61-60 on Monday (March 11) evening in the Summit League Tournament Semifinals.
Kason Harrell had a chance at a go-ahead basket as well, on a transition layup attempt following a steal with 49 seconds left to go. Konchar followed the shot and attempt to control it and put it back. However his put back attempt got wedged between the rim and backboard. The possession arrow favored Omaha. On the next Mavericks' possession Konchar had a swipe that knocked the ball out of bounds and put the Mavericks in an inbounds situation with four seconds left on the shot clock. The Mastodons would get the ball back with 15 seconds left. but Konchar's final shot was no good.
Omaha took a 37-30 lead into halftime thanks to an early 13-0 run. Their lead got as large as 12. The 'Dons gave the Mavericks a dogfight down the stretch, using an 8-0 run to go within four. Konchar and Matt Holba hit threes, and Dee Montgomery made a layup to force an Omaha timeout. Shortly after, the Mastodons had a 10-2 run on baskets from four different 'Dons. Purdue Fort Wayne limited Omaha to only 24 points in the second half as the 'Dons rallied back to get the lead.
The Mastodons hit eight 3-pointers on Monday, which moved their season total to 362 made threes. This is the most in a single season in program history. The previous record was set in the 2016-17 season, when the 'Dons hit 354 treys.
Konchar finished with 13 points, seven rebounds and four assists. Harrell had 13 points on 6-of-12 shooting. Holba had five points and 10 rebounds. Dylan Carl did a little bit of everything, as he ended with seven points, four rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals.
The game featured six ties and eight lead changes.
The third-seeded 'Dons forced 17 turnovers in the game and held the second-seeded Mavs scoreless in the final 3:13.
The Mastodons fall to 18-15. Omaha improves to 21-10 and earns a matchup with North Dakota State for the Summit League Championship and NCAA Tournament berth on Tuesday.
