GREEN BAY, Wis. - Behind 15 3-pointers, Purdue Fort Wayne won 83-67 at Green Bay on Sunday (Dec. 29) in a Horizon League men's basketball contest.
The final score doesn't tell the whole story of the day for the Mastodons. Purdue Fort Wayne and Green Bay were about four minutes from the national anthem when the power went out at the Resch Center. It went on and off multiple times before the decision was made to move the game to the Kress Center, Green Bay's on-campus facility. Everyone jumped in a bus or a car and headed 11.7 miles down the road to Green Bay's campus. The game started at 3:48 ET at the Kress Center after an original start time of 2 p.m. ET at the Resch Center.
The Phoenix scored the first five points of the game but the 'Dons responded with a 15-0 run. Purdue Fort Wayne forced five turnovers in the run and made four 3-pointers.
Purdue Fort Wayne forced two Green Bay timeouts in the first half as the Phoenix never found a way to pause the Mastodons' balanced scoring. Eight 'Dons scored in the first half with Trey Lewis adding seven points off the bench and Maximus Nelson notching three of the Mastodons' nine 3-pointers in the first 20 minutes.
Green Bay never threatened in the second half. The 'Dons finished at 15-of-27 from three with Quinton Morton-Robertson making all four of his attempts for a game-high 16 points. Jalen Jackson had 15 points and five assists. Lewis finished with 12 points and five rebounds.
The number that pops off the box score belongs to Rasheed Bello. The Chicago-native had a career-high 12 assists. He is the first Mastodon with 12 assists since Jarred Godfrey recorded 12 in the Horizon League Tournament at Cleveland State in 2021 in a triple overtime game. The last Mastodon with 12 assists in a 40-minute contest was John Konchar who had 14 at Denver on Feb. 14, 2019.
Bello is the first Horizon League player to reach 12 assists in a league game since Jalen Moore had 14 and 13 for Oakland during the 2021-22 season.
Bello helped the 'Dons record 22 assists to only eight turnovers on Sunday.
Preston Ruedinger led Green Bay with 12 points.
Green Bay falls to 2-13 (0-4 Horizon League). The 'Dons are now 10-5 (3-1 Horizon League) and are at Northern Kentucky on Wednesday (Jan. 1).
