Wildcats are clutch in victory over Avila
Saturday, February 06, 2010
Jordan Ayers |
Drew Ayers |
Some clutch play down the stretch helped the Culver-Stockton College men's basketball team upend Avila University 64-59 Saturday afternoon at Charles Field House.
The Wildcats and Eagles were in a slugfest that saw a game with 52 fouls called and 64 free throws shot, and also saw the lead change hands 13 times and the game tied 10 times.
With Avila leading 55-54, the Wildcats' Phil Peugh attempted a long 3-pointer from the right corner. He missed the shot, but teammate Jordan Ayers grabbed the rebound and made a fall away shot while being fouled to give the Wildcats the last lead change of the game with 1:10 remaining in the game.
Ayers' foul shot made it a 57-55 game and the Eagles missed on their next possession with C-SC's Jim McKee grabbing the rebound. McKee made both free throws and the Wildcats made seven of 10 in the final minute to seal the victory.
The victory gives the Wildcats six victories on the season, one more than last year, and keeps them in the hunt for the eighth and final playoff spot for the conference tournament with a 4-10 league mark.
Ayers scored 11 points, grabbed four rebounds and had two blocks before fouling out in the final minute. Brother Drew Ayers added 10 points and a team-high six rebounds off the bench. Peugh led the Wildcats with 15 markers.
The Wildcats now are off until next Saturday, Feb. 13, when they host Baker University at Charles Field House. Game time is slated for 4 p.m.
