Texans clip Cowboys 80-75 Thursday in Kansas, advance to NJCAA Final Four

HUTCHINSON, Kansas — The South Plains College men’s basketball team held off a late second half run from Connors State as they bested the Cowboys 80-75 on Thursday night at the Hutchinson Sports Arena to advance to the NJCAA Final Four for the third time in the last four seasons. South Plains will meet Eastern Florida State (29-4) on Friday at 6 p.m. with the winner advancing to Saturday’s national championship game at 7 p.m. “I thought this game was a tale of two halves,” South Plains head coach Steve Green said. “I thought we played well the first half and shot it well and rebounded the ball and held them to one shot, then, completely unraveled in the second half. We were very, very fortunate.”

Texans take down fourth-seeded Bruins 79-78 Wednesday in Kansas, advance to NJCAA Elite 8

HUTCHINSON, Kansas — The Texans needed both. Trailing 78-77 with eight ticks left in regulation, South Plains’ Deshawn Corprew stepped to the charity stripe for a one-and-one following a blocking foul called on Salt Lake’s Hunter Schofield. The 6-foot-6 swingman from Norfolk, Virginia made the most of the opportunity, knocking down consecutive free throws to put the Texans up one. Needing one final stand, the Bruins pushed the floor for an opportunity to win it, but Dalven Brushier’s desperation 3 from the top of the key clanked off the side of the rim as South Plains knocked off the fourth-seeded Bruins 79-78 to advance to the Elite 8 against Connors State (31-3) at 6 p.m. on Thursday.

Texans top Cougars 91-71 Monday in opening round of 2018 NJCAA National Tournament in Kansas

HUTCHINSON, Kansas — Isaiah Maurice scored a game-high 22 points and Ben Perez poured in 19 as the South Plains College men’s basketball team throttled Highland Community College 91-71 Monday in the opening round of the 2018 NJCAA Men’s Basketball National Tournament at the Hutchinson Sports Arena. With the win, the Texans advance to the round of 16 and will take on fourth-seeded Salt Lake at noon on Wednesday. “We got off to a 15-2 start and kind of separated ourselves,” South Plains head coach Steve Green said. “We made some plays when we had to, and I don’t think we were especially crisp, or sharp. I think they missed a lot of open shots early in the game, and I don’t think we did anything on the defensive end that we should be proud of.”

Texans overcome early deficit, oust No. 20 McLennan 85-76 Friday to advance to Region V Championship

WOLFFORTH — Answer back. Following a 14-4 run from No. 20 McLennan to begin Friday’s Region V semifinal matchup, South Plains head coach Steve Green signaled for a timeout. The message over the next 30 seconds seemed to resonate with his team, as the Texans answered the call with a 20-8 barrage capped by a Jordan Brangers’ 3-ball to put South Plains on top 24-22, as they went on to defeat the Highlanders 85-76 Friday at the Tiger Pit to advance to the Region V championship game Saturday at 2 p.m. against No. 7 Odessa. “For the past 48 hours, it seems like our guys were shot out of a cannon,” Green said. “Today, I don’t think we expected the 3-point barrage even though we told them that’s what they could do. I was really shocked it was 14-4, and it happened fast. To our guys’ credit, they stayed composed and started chipping back and got right back in it, fast.”

Texans fall to No. 7 Odessa 83-79 Thursday night at the Texan Dome

LEVELLAND — The South Plains College men’s basketball team fell to No. 7 Odessa College 83-79 in their final regular season game on Thursday night at the Texan Dome. South Plains moves to 20-8 on the year and 12-4 in the Western Junior College Athletic Conference and ends the regular season as the conference runner-up in the WJCAC. The Texans will now shift their focus to the NJCAA Region V Tournament at Frenship High School in Lubbock March 7-10. The Texans will meet Ranger College in their opening round contest at 3 p.m. on March 7 at the Tiger Pit. “I thought they played much more aggressive than us in the first half,” South Plains head coach Steve Green said. “It seemed like every time they got the ball they scored or shot it missed it and got it back. They got to the rim, they drove us, we just had no answer for them in the first half. I think they started settling and the zone got us back in the game, but we had the ball several times with a four-point deficit and played like a group of guys who’ve never played together.”

Will made some good plays, and the zone defense bailed us out.”
