DMACC men's basketball team drops 89-61 decision to DDCC

Posted: Mar 22, 2024

Top-seeded Davidson-Davie Community College (DDCC) used a 14-0 run early in the game to open up a 14-4 lead against the DMACC men's basketball team and handed the eight-seeded Bears an 89-61 loss in the quarterfinals of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) 2024 Division II Men's Basketball Championship March 21 at Danville, Ill.

DMACC, which fell to 29-5, got an early 4-0 lead on a three-point basket by sophomore Trey Lewis of Johnston and a free throw from sophomore Angelo Winkel of Algona but went two and a half minutes without a point and DDCC took advantage with a 14-0 run and never trailed the rest of the way.

DMACC closed to within five points on three occasions in the first half but got no closer as DDCC took a 45-34 lead into halftime and outscored the Bears 11-1 over the first four and a half minutes of the second half to take a commanding 56-35 lead with 15 minutes, 33 second to play. DDCC led by as many as 28 points in the half and DMACC never got closer than 18 points.

Winkel, Lewis and sophomore James Glenn of Altoona led DMACC with 13 points apiece. The Bears, who shot 51 percent, including 38 percent from three-point range in a 98-74 win over Pima Community College (PCC) in their tournament opener on March 19, didn't come close to that against DDCC. They were 23-of-54 from the field for 42 percent and made just eight of 24 three-point attempts for 33 percent. DMACC made seven of 13 free throws for 54 percent.

Turnovers hurt the Bears as they committed 20, leading to 23 points for DDCC. The Storm got 58 points in the paint and 26 points from the bench.

DDCC came away with a 38-31 advantage on the boards with sophomore Victor Desmond of Onalaska, Wis., leading DMACC with seven rebounds. Desmond also topped the Bears in assists with four.

DMACC will face seventh-seeded Parkland College (PC) in a consolation bracket game at 3 p.m. today. PC is also 29-5. The DMACC-PC winner will advance to the fifth-place game March 23 at 1 p.m. The 2023-24 season will come to a close for the DMACC-PCC loser.
