MINNEAPOLIS (2/24/00) -- Troy Bigalke (Jr., Monticello,
Minn.) hit two free throws with six seconds remaining to give
St. John's University a 58-57 win over host Augsburg College in
a Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference men's basketball
playoff semifinal game on Thursday night at Si Melby Hall.
St. John's, now 19-6 overall, advances to play St. Thomas (21-4),
which beat Bethel (14-11) 79-70 in the other semifinal game Thursday,
in the playoff championship game on Saturday night (2/26) at 7:30
p.m. at UST's Schoenecker Arena in St. Paul, Minn. Augsburg ended
its season 16-8 overall.
After trailing 35-28 to Augsburg at halftime, the Johnnies
took over the tempo of the game and slowly rallied to tie and
take a four-point lead, 43-39, at the 10:56 mark of the second
half. Augsburg came back to take a six-point lead, 52-46 at the
5:33 mark on two 3-pointers by Kevin Van Rossum (Sr., Green
Bay, Wis./Preble HS) and one by Chris York (Fr., Burnsville,
Minn.).
But the Johnnies rallied again and cut the lead to one point,
55-54, on a driving layup by Bigalke. The Auggies brought the
ball to halfcourt and called time out with 34 seconds remaining.
But the Auggies were forced to call time out two more times on
inbounds attempts, finally getting the ball in and forcing a foul
against SJU's Luke Witt (So., Red Wing, Minn.).
Jeoffrey Reed (Sr., Minneapolis, Minn./De La Salle HS)
hit two free throws with 22 seconds left to put Augsburg ahead
57-54. St. John's drove the ball and after two misses and offensive
rebounds, Mike Nester (So., Redwood Falls, Minn.) hit a
layup with 11 seconds remaining. Augsburg turned the ball over
on the inbounds pass, giving the Johnnies the ball underneath
their own basket.
Reed, who shared MIAC Player of the Year honors with Bigalke
this season, fouled Bigalke with six seconds remaining. Bigalke
hit two free throws to produce the final scoring margin, as Reed's
shot attempt to win the game on the Augsburg end at the buzzer
did not connect, giving the Johnnies the upset win on the road.
Nester came off the bench to lead St. John's with 10 points
and 11 rebounds. Kevin Buth (Fr., Edina, Minn.) had 12
points and three steals, and Bigalke had 11 points and eight rebounds.
Bigalke became the 25th player in St. John's history to reach
the 1,000-point mark in the game; he now has 1,006 career points.
Augsburg was paced by Reed, who had 18 points, three rebounds
and two steals. Van Rossum scored 13 points, hitting three 3-pointers
to finish his school-record total at 239, tying him with Jim
Lovrein of Carleton (1994-98) for the No. 2 spot in career
three-pointers among MIAC players (all games). He finished his
career with 1,025 points, 15th-best in school history. Reed finished
his career with 791 career points (27th-best in school history)
and 249 career rebounds.
Matt Davis (Jr., Marshall, Minn.) had eight points and
10 rebounds for Augsburg, and Nate Hoerr (Jr., Burnsville,
Minn.) had seven points and nine rebounds.
