Sweet As JaM: Dragons Storm Past Augie in OT

MOORHEAD, Minn. -- MSU Moorhead men's basketball used career efforts from JaMir Price and Jacob Jennissen to help defeat Augustana in NSIC action on Friday evening. The Dragons defeated the Vikings in overtime, 89-80. 

Inside The Game
  • True to form, both teams would battle one another in the opening 20 minutes with neither team holding an advantage larger than four points. 
  • Six early points from Jacob Jennissen got the Dragons started and eventually pushed them to a 17-13 lead midway through the period. 
  • Augustana would tie the score several times throughout the remainder of the half, but would not hold a lead through 20 minutes. 
  • The Dragons led 34-33 at the break with Jennissen scoring six points. JaMir Price would own the latter stages of the half, seemingly scoring at will.
  • Price finished the first half with 13 points, including a made three-pointer.
  • MSUM would come out hot in the second half, draining three triples thanks to Logan Kinsey, Sam Hastreiter and Jennissen. 
  • The barrage would put the Dragons up double figures, 45-35 early in the second half. 
  • The Vikings would answer back, tying the contest at 51 points midway through the second half. 
  • Price would pace the Dragons throughout the Viking rally, but Augie would eventually secure a three-point lead with five minutes to play. 
  • While the Dragons would answer the Vikings down the stretch, they needed a defensive stop to regain control of the scoreboard. 
  • Trailing by three points with under a minute to play, Kinsey scored while being fouled to even the count at 70 points, pushing the contest into overtime. 
  • Overtime's opening tip was the momentum shift as the ball was tipped to an open Kinsey, who coasted to the rim for a thunderous slam. 
  • MSUM controlled the extra session, outscoring the Vikings 19-10 to win 89-80. 
  • Price finished with a Dragon career-high of 29 points with Jennissen scoring 18 points with a career-high 14 rebounds and five blocked shots.
