Skyline (6-4) |
| Skyline got out to a double-digit lead in the first half, behind Lamar Hudson's perimeter shooting. He had 16 first half points, including four treys. But, the never say die Knicks worked themselves back in the game, as Eddie Wilkins hit a couple of long range bombs and Jonathan Johnson battled in the paint for buckets. The Knicks slowed Skyline down and only trailed 33-29 at the half. Again, Skyline moved out to a double-digit spread in the 2nd half. Chris Jones scored two buckets off put-backs and hit a nice three-pointer to fuel the Skyline run. However, not to fold, the Knicks fought back, and on a Jarmond Bailey penetration and assist to Wilkins, they cut their deficit to 66-62 with under a minute to go. Skyline answered with an inside score by Alex Cornett, followed by a three by Antone Anderson, to silence the Knick's comeback ideas. Wilkins led the Knicks with 22, while Johnson had 16. OB Wilkins and Bailey each netted 11 in the loss. For Skyline, Cornett had 18, Hudson 16, Anderson 14, Tony Cook 13 and Jones 10. Skyline will now get a re-match with Baseline-1 in the SEBL Elite Eight on Friday night. Tip off is set for 7:00pm at JH Morgan Gym. |
