Career-High Collicott Strikes Again on Final Day of CIT

Ann Arbor, Mich. - The Concordia University Chicago (CUC) Cougars men's basketball team was in Ann Arbor Michigan for the final day of the 72nd Annual Concordia Invitational Tournament (CIT) where they took on the Concordia Wisconsin Falcons.

 

Inside the Box Score:

  • Jacob Collicott (Lafayette, Ind.) dominated the court with 17 points, 17 rebounds, six steals and three assists.
  • Darrian Williams (Garland, Texas) contributed another 15 points for the Cougars and Aaron Brown dominated the paint with 12.
 

Here's What Happened

First Half

Collicott opened the scoring with a huge dunk converting from a steal. 

 

 

 

The Falcons answered with a three, which was just the beginning of what would be a consistent game of lead changes. The Cougars trailed by one, but efforts from Sean Beckman (Hoffman Estates, Ill.), Tallis Lowery (Fairview Heights, Ill.), and Collicott brought the Cougars back ahead by seven, where the score was 11-4. 

 

 

 

The Falcons had a huge spurt of momentum where they went on a 10-0 run, bringing their lead to three and the score to 21-18, the Falcons. Collicott, Williams, and Beckman knocked down a pair of buckets and a pair of free throws, where the score was now 33-26, now favoring the Cougars. 

 

 

 

To end the half, Ryker Johnson was sent to the line for two more free throws, and Williams and Collicott both had jumpers that kept their lead at seven. Heading into halftime, the Cougars led 39-32.

 

Second Half

Lowery started the scoring off for the Cougars with a layup but the Falcons went on a 13-0, taking over once again, with the score at 44-41, favoring the Falcons. 

 

 

 

From there, the Cougars made efforts to comeback from the lead the Falcons created, however, with every bucket the Cougars obtained, the Falcons came back mirroring what the Cougars did. 

 

 

 

 

 

Unable to comeback in the capacity they hoped for, the Cougars fell 69-65.

The Cougars will be back in action Wednesday, January 29th, to host our Division Street Rivals the Dominican Stars. Tip-off is set for 7:00 pm. Coverage for all things CUC men's basketball can be found at cucougars.com/coverage.
