With a deafening crowd in attendance, Blackburn college and MacMurray college came together for another exciting matchup. The two schools met on December 5th, as MacMurray prevailed that time with a two point victory. Tonights matchup would prove to be just as exciting.
After trading a few baskets, a Chris Davis 3 pointer, followed by two Jamie Moore 3's had Blackburn up early 21-12. However, stagnant offense from Blackburn made it possible for MacMurray to cut into that lead as they quickly tied it up. That would be a reoccuring theme for the Blackburn offense. A huge Jamie Moore tip slam put the Beavers up 35-32 with 3 minutes left in the half.
Kollin Keltner provided his own answer. Keltner went on a 9-0 run with three 3's in the span of a few minutes with the last one coming way behind the arc. Blackburn tried to respond but missed the last shot of the half and went into the locker room down 1.
