State Farm Good Neighbor Classic at
Charleston • Championship Blue Hens Fall Short as Lumpkin Stars for Cougars
CHARLESTON, SC -- Center Jody Lumpkin scored eight points in overtime, including six in the final two minutes, as host College of Charleston held off the University of Delaware men's basketball team for an 80-75 victory in the championship game of the State Farm Good Neighbor Classic Thursday night at Kresse Arena. Lumpkin scored 24 points, pulled seven rebounds, and blocked seven shots as the Cougars (8-1) won their tournament for second time in three years over the Blue Hens. Delaware (5-6) got a team-high 17 points from sophomore guard Austen Rowland while sophomore forward Maurice Sessoms added a career-high 16 points, Ryan Iversen scored 15 points, and Ajmal Basit added 13 points and pulled a team-high nine rebounds. The Cougars have lost just nine games in 11 years at home. Delaware took its last lead of the game at 74-73 on a Rowland layup with 2:08 left in overtime but Lumpkin followed with two consecutive jumpers to put the Cougars up 76-73 with 1:05 left to play. The Hens almost tied the game, but Sessoms had a foot on the three-point line on a successful jumper with 40 seconds left to cut the Charleston lead to 76-75. Leighton Bowie, who scored 23 points, followed with two free throws with 11.7 seconds left to up the Cougar lead to 78-75, but the Hens could not convert on their next trip down the floor as Rowland was short on a deep three-pointer. Lumpkin grabbed the rebound, was fouled, then converted two free throws with 3.3 seconds left to ice the game. "I thought we played very well, well enough to win," said Delaware head coach David Henderson, whose team was looking top avenge an 80-55 loss to College of Charleston in the 1998 Charleston Tournament title game. "I'm proud of the way we competed down here and gave ourselves a chance to win. Our guys played their hearts out, we just came up a little short. We just didn't execute at the end of regulation and couldn't make a basket when we needed to." Sessoms connected on an 18-footer with 57 seconds left in regulation to put the Hens up 69-67, but Troy Wheless (13 points, 7 assists) hit two free throws to knot the game at 69-69 with 36 seconds left. The Hens had a last chance to win the game in regulation, but after two timeouts Billy Wells (11 points) could not get a shot off in the lane before the shot clock expired, sending the game into the extra session. Delaware led by as much as 10 points at one point in the first half before College of Charleston used a 19-6 run to eventually send the game into intermission tied at 41-41. Basit and Rowland were named to the All-Tournament team and were joined by Bowie and Lumpkin. Jacksonville (Ala.) State won the consolation game 81-68. Delaware will return to action next Saturday, Dec. 30, when the Hens travel to Philadelphia to take on St. Joseph's in a game to be televised live at 7 p.m. on CN8.
