Cal Poly Falls Down the Stretch to North Dakota State, 60-57
11/12/2021 4:44:00 PM | Men's Basketball
SAN LUIS OBISPO – Graduate guard Jacob Davison (above) sank five three-pointers to finish with a team high 19 points Friday afternoon, but – in a matchup that featured 15 lead changes and 10 tied scorelines – the Cal Poly men's basketball program dropped a 60-57 decision to North Dakota State inside Mott Athletics Center.
Junior forward Alimamy Koroma added nine points for Cal Poly (1-1), which received Davison's fifth three-pointer of the afternoon with two minutes remaining to tie the matchup, 53-53. North Dakota State (2-0), however, answered with a free throw from guard Tyree Eady before forward Rocky Kreuser knocked down a three-pointer to secure a 57-53 Bison lead.
Davison sank two free throws with 46 seconds remaining to bring the Bison lead down to two. Kreuser, however, produced a layup on North Dakota State's next possession while a Davison three-point attempt with 14 seconds left fell short.
In matchup delayed one season by the COVID pandemic, both teams finished with the same field goal mark of 37.7 (20-for-53) percent. Cal Poly was outrebounded, 38-30.
Cal Poly closes its season-opening, three-game home stand when hosting Sacramento State on Monday, Nov. 15 at 7 p.m.
A Davison three-pointer nine minutes into action Friday helped Cal Poly grab a 12-9 lead before the Bison limited the Mustangs to just one basket during an ensuing five-minute stretch. With the corresponding 11-2 run, North Dakota State established a 20-14 lead with six minutes remaining in the half.
North Dakota State led by as much as 28-17 late in the first half before Mustang senior forward Tuukka Jaakkola completed a three-point play with 38 seconds remaining to cut the Bison advantage to 30-23 at the break.
Backboned by two more Davison three-pointers, Cal Poly opened the second half with a 10-2 run to claim a 33-32 lead with 17 minutes remaining.
With neither side able to carve out more than a two-point advantage, the lead changed hands eight times in the ensuing five minutes before a Koroma second chance lay-in handed Cal Poly a 47-44 edge.
The Mustangs, however, were kept to just two free throws from sophomore guard Camren Pierce and one by Koroma in the next seven minutes as North Dakota State surged back ahead with two-and-a-half minutes to play, 53-50.
