Season Best 14 Threes Helps UNK Keep Chadron at Bay, 84-79

Kearney, Neb. – The Nebraska Kearney men's basketball team sunk a season-high 14 three pointers and got a combined 41 points from veterans Ja'Bryant Hill and Anthony Swift to hold off Chadron State, 84-79, Tuesday night at the Health & Sports Center.

This was the first of three RMAC games this week for the Lopers (6-5) as they travel to Regis Thurs. night and Metro State on Sat. afternoon. Meanwhile, the Eagles fell to 2-10.

UNK didn't trail all night and by as many as 13 points, but CSC hung around thanks to a big effort from junior guard Jadon Cool (29 points) and a 20 of 26 effort at the line. Both teams had some key pieces out with the Lopers solving a zone by going 14 of 29 from behind the arc. Six different players hit at least one three with UNK getting out to early leads of 14-2 and 23-11.

Chadron trailed by nine at the break and got no closer than seven points until a late flurry at the end. An 8-0 spurt made it just a two-point game, 76-74, with 1:40 left. The key stretch featured two triples and two free throws. UNK countered when Swift (Las Vegas) nailed a triple from the top of the key and CSC didn't get closer than four the rest of the way. The Lopers made five of their last six freebies while the Eagles missed three of their last four shots.

Hill (Dallas) had 21 points, a career-high 11 assists and three steals with Swift at 20 points and seven boards. The pair combined to go 14 of 29 (7 of 13 threes) from the field with this being Hill's first double double as a Loper. Next, sophomore wing Clayton Moore (Mullen) had 12 points and seven rebounds with senior reserve wing Tom Connelly (Denver) at 10 points and two o-boards. Finally, CSC was plus five on the glass but committed three more turnovers.

Besides Cool, Chadron got 16 points from senior guard Isaiah Randolph, 13 points from sophomore forward Ethan Russell and 11 rebounds from 6-8 freshman Luka Djurovic.

The Regis Rangers are currently 1-6 with the MSU Denver Roadrunners at 3-7.
