INDIANAPOLIS – Jalen Jackson and the Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons raced by the IU Indianapolis Jaguars on Saturday (Jan. 25) afternoon in Horizon League action 91-80.
Jackson finished with a line of 38 points, seven rebounds, six assists and two steals. Jackson's 38 points are tied for third most in a game in Division I program history. He was 11-of-16 from the floor and 14-of-18 from the free throw line. 38 points are the most by a Horizon League player this year. The last Mastodon to reach 38 points was John Konchar on Dec. 30, 2018 at North Dakota State in overtime.
His 14 free throws are the second most by a Mastodon in DI program history. Bryson Scott owns the record at 15.
There were 10 lead changes early in the first half but a 13-2 stretch put the 'Dons up 34-24 with 7:55 left. Chandler Cuthrell had an emphatic two-handed slam which forced an IU Indy timeout in the run.
The Jaguars cut the Mastodon lead to three points before the 'Dons closed the first half on a 14-2 run. Jackson scored six of the 14 points including three on an old fashioned three-point play. Rasheed Bello put an exclamation on the half with a three at the buzzer just past the Jaguar head on the court.
The second half was the Jackson show. He went over 1,000 points in his Mastodon career with a layup with 11:58 left. He finished with 20 points in the final 20 minutes to finish at 38 points.
As a team the 'Dons shot 56.6 percent (30-of-53) and 21-of-27 from the free throw line. IU Indy finished at 37.1 percent (23-of-62) from the floor.
Maximus Nelson had 15 points while Cuthrell totaled 13.
The Mastodons improve to 15-7 (8-3 Horizon). IU Indy falls to 7-15 (3-8 Horizon). Next up is a big one for the 'Dons. Purdue Fort Wayne welcomes first-place Cleveland State to the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum on Thursday (Jan. 30). It is a 9 p.m. start on ESPN. All kids 12th grade and younger are free. First responders may show an ID to receive a free ticket and for three of their guests. The first 200 Mastodon students and 100 faculty/staff members will receive a free $10 food voucher.
