JAMESTOWN, N.D. (JimmieAthletics.com) – Down by as many as 17 points in the second half, the 16th-ranked University of Jamestown men’s basketball team rallied to tie the game against No. 7 Dakota Wesleyan (S.D.) University, but the Tigers pulled away for a 75-65 win Wednesday night at Harold Newman Arena.

Jamestown (7-2 overall, 1-1 Great Plains Athletic Conference) had their seven-game winning streak snapped. The Jimmies will look to get back in the win column Saturday with a 4 p.m. matchup at Northwestern (Iowa) College.

Dakota Wesleyan led 39-25 at the half despite shooting 13-of-33 from the floor. However, eight of their 13 makes were from three-point range. UJ struggled to find any consistent offensive rhythm in the opening 20 minutes, converting on just 11-of-38 shots and 1-of-11 beyond the arc. DWU also outrebounded the Jimmies 30-19 in the half.

Ty Hoglund gave the Tigers their second 17-point lead of the game after a bucket at the 19:02 mark of the second half. Down 44-27, Jamestown outscored DWU 28-11 over the next 9:29 to even the score at 55-all following a Jack Frazier (SR/Salem, OR) basket.

Jamestown would get within one point at 60-59 on a Brady Birch (JR/Melrose, MN) basket with 8:03 remaining, but three-pointers by Collin Kramer, Samuel McCloud, and Hoglund countered a bucket by Jack Talley (JR/Sioux Falls, SD) and a pair of free throws by Brock Schrom (JR/Grand Rapids, MN) to maintain a six-point advantage. UJ made just one of its final five shots, with three of the missing coming on three-point attempts. The Jimmies made only one of 16 three-point tries.

Hoglund led all scorers with 22 points. DWU was 15-of-32 on three-pointers, 24-of-60 shooting overall. Nick Harden had four threes as part of his 14 points.

Talley paced the Jimmie offense with 20 points and grabbed six rebounds to go along with three assists. Mason Walters (FR/Jamestown, ND) had a double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds while Schrom chipped in with 10 points.
