The Bulldogs blitzed the Tigers early on in the process of mounting a 34-10 lead midway through the first half. The only thing Doane had to celebrate was a monster dunk by Jaxon Harre in the opening minutes â but it celebrated too hard and neglected to get back on defense. The likes of Carter Kent, Smith and Wiersema were the aggressors in a lopsided affair.
Smith accumulated his lofty totals in only 25 minutes of action. He rattled off 10 of his points in the first 11 minutes of the game as a real pain in the side of Doane. To the Tigersâ credit, they charged back within 11 (52-41) early in the second half. The 13-2 Concordia run that followed essentially put the contest away. Just for fun, AJ Watson lobbed an ally-oop pass to Wragge for a crowd-pleasing slam with the outcome already decided.
