Jets bested by Lions on the road

Fikes records a career-high 27 points

Joplin, Mo. -Men's Basketball faced the Missouri Southern Lions in the first out of two away games Newman has scheduled for the weekend. After leading 39-33 at half, the Jets ended up dropping the game 69-85.

How it Happened: 
Jordan Glenn-Hawkins got the Jets offense started with an early three pointer to give Newman their first lead of the game. Sam Somerhalder followed Hawkins' lead with two baskets from the field to increase the difference. With fifteen minutes left in the half, Deadric Fikes made a dunk to give the Jets a five point lead and record his first points of the night. After that, Jacob Joe made two consecutive threes to leave the score at 20-9. The Jets were able to maintain the lead until the end of the half, with Fikes, Hawkins and Somerhalder carrying the offense. The half ended 39-33. 

Off of the break, the Lions scored from behind the arc to reduce the difference to three. Four minutes later, MSSU regained the lead with a long three pointer. Fikes made two free throws and a three pointer to tie the game at 53 and mark his 16th point of the night with 13 minutes to go in the game. With another made free throw, Deadric recorded his new career high at 18, surpassing the 17 he scored against the Lions in Wichita. After being tied at 57-57 with 11:41 left to play, the Lions took the lead in the next play with a made jumper and never lost the lead again. The Jets attempted a comeback multiple times, but the Lions' accuracy was too much for Newman to overcome. The game ended 69-85 in favor of the Lions.
