It was boys night out in the MIAC with a full slate of men's games while the women were inactive. St. John's and St. Thomas remained undefeated and pointing toward a showdown two weeks from last night (Monday, Jan. 21) at St. Thomas.
The defending champs from St. John's hammered Concordia 83-44 as the Cobbers shot 27 percent and nobody scored in double figures. David Stokman scored 23 points for the Johnnies.
It's hard to believe the Tommies slumped to 5th place last year, the way they're playing so far this year, including last night's 89-63 thumping of 3rd place St. Olaf. Connor Bair continued his strong play with 26 points, 5 boards and 2 blocks (he is averaging 15 and 9). The Tommies shot 50 percent from the field, which is exactly their percentage for the season (12 games) thus far. The Olies shot 33 percent.
Along with the Johnnies and Tommies, right now St. Olaf, Augsburg, Bethel and Hamline are in position to advance to the MIAC post-season but a road game at St. John's or St. Thomas sounds like a very very hard road indeed.
Player of the Day--Bair and Stokman
Team of the Day--Johnnies and Tommies
Coach of the Day--Tauer and McKenzie
