Star guard lifts Melrose Golden Wildcats

Chris Jones pours in 32 points as Melrose ends long dry spell

By Pete Wickham
Posted March 8, 2010 at 10:45 p.m.

Chris Jones provided another flood of points and ended a 13-year state tournament drought for the Melrose Golden Wildcats, whose take-no-prisoners march to Murfreesboro plowed through Class AAA sectional foe Jackson North Side, 87-63, before a joyous home crowd Monday night.

“From the start of my sophomore year, I knew we hadn’t been there since 1997. And right now I’m telling my team ‘Climb on my back,’” said Jones, who had 32 points, 14 of them in the first quarter, as the Golden Wildcats (33-4) got off to a 25-10 start and never totally let the collective foot off the Indians’ jugular.

“We went through that losing streak, that was all me. I didn’t step up and lead, especially down the stretch,” said Jones, a Tennessee commitment. “That’s not happening now.”

It was a dominating show, with just enough miscues (23 turnovers, 3-for-16 3-point shooting) to give head coach Jermaine Johnson grist for his “stay focused” sermons between now and next week’s quarterfinal test.

“We need to control our emotions better, and we need to always want more, not to be satisfied, and that happened a bit tonight,” Johnson said. “But right now we’re riding that dream.”

Nate Rucker added 18 points and five rebounds, Adonis Thomas 18 points and nine boards and the pair negated Florida signee Casey Prather, who had just two first-quarter points and 20 overall before he fouled out midway through the fourth period.

“That’s as good a job as anyone has done on Casey. He settled for too many outside shots early, and frustration led to a lot of the fouls,” said North Side coach Tony Brown after his team finished its season 20-7. “They jumped on us, and we never got our composure back.”

Rucker, headed to Northern Illinois, said the key “was not letting Prather touch the ball, and closing off the lane with help.”

Jones said, “Prather’s a hell of a player, but we kept denying.”

Melrose’s cool was tested midway through the quarter when Thomas got whistled for a foul, and Jones was called for a technical for jawing after the play.

Michael Tomlin (14 points), who had hit four straight foul shots, added another. Prather hit the two T-throws and then a turnaround jumper to make it a 71-55 game with just under five minutes to play.

Before the Indians could blink, Jones scored the next 10 points, twice driving past Prather for layups, then drawing the North Side star’s fifth foul. That restored order at 81-55.

“Didn’t say anything, but I understood,” Jones said about the last burst. “It’s still our gym, and I was going to answer.”

Rod Long added 13 points – hitting three from behind the arc — for Jackson North Side, which shot just 38 percent from the field, and was outrebounded, 49-31, by Melrose.

Rucker said the Orange Mound community “has been excited about this team since December. They’ve sensed it could be pretty special. Now we’ve got the chance to go all the way, and take them with us.”

Seattle Pacific Claims GNAC Title - Feb 28, 2010 (by Sanjey Noriega)
From: gnacsports.com

Chris Banchero (6'1''-G) led five double figure scorers with 19 points as Seattle Pacific clinched its first outright GNAC basketball championship in four years with an 89-76 victory Saturday night at St.Martin's.

Elsewhere Alaska-Anch.'s playoff hopes took a hit with a 65-60 loss at Montana St. - Billin. Meanwhile, NW Nazarene defeated W.Oregon 93-83 to complete its home campaign. Central Washington plays at Western Washington Sunday night in a regionally televised game.

SPU (22-3, 13-1) secured its fourth title in the nine-year history of the conference. The Falcons, whose only other outright championship came in 2006, shared the league crown in 2002 and 2007.

Seattle Pacific led by six at halftime before Galen Squiers (6'2''-G) hit a three-pointer with 13:59 left to draw St.Martin's within three points at 55-52. But Ryan Sweet answered with a trey 24 seconds later that started the Falcons on a game-clinching 14-4 run.

SPU, which led by as many as 19 late in the game, capped the surge with six straight points from the free throw line that netted a 69-56 lead with 9:37 remaining.

The first four charity shots were converted by Jeff Downs after the Saints' bench was whistled for back-to-back technical fouls.

Downs came off the bench to score 17 points. He shot three of four from three-point range and eight of nine from the line. Another reserve, Adam Wardell, tallied 14 points for SPU which also got 10 apiece from Sweet and Brandon Larrieu.

Jeremy Green (6'7''-F) paced SMU with 25 points while Blake Poole (6'5''-F) contributed 22 points and 10 rebounds. Poole scored the initial seven points for SMU and 11 of the team's first 15 helping the Saints build a 15-7 lead.

The Falcons responded with an 11-2 run, capped by Wardell's put-back of his own miss, to claim a brief 18-17 edge. Poole then made a layup, giving SMU its last lead at 19-18.

Downs converted two free throws and Scott Morse followed with a jumper to put SPU ahead for good at 23-19 with 9:11 left in the first half.

SPU displayed why it is the nation's second-best shooting team, hitting 55 percent of its shots from the field (28-51), including a torrid 63 percent second-half clip (15 of 24). The Falcons got 11 assists from Rob Diederichs giving him 30 in two games this week.

Chris Banchero led the GNAC in conference games with 21.2 points per game

3/8/2010 4:46:13 PM

SPOKANE, Wash. – Seattle Pacific junior Chris Banchero received the Player of the Year Award and the Falcons’ Ryan Looney was named the Coach of the Year when the Great Northwest Athletic Conference men’s basketball awards were announced Monday by Commissioner Richard Hannan.

In his first season, Looney directed the Falcons to a 22-5 record and their fourth championship in the nine-year history of the GNAC. No other coach has led the SPU men to either a conference title or postseason berth in his inaugural season. Looney took charge of the program after compiling a 95-55 record in five seasons at his alma mater, Eastern Oregon University.

“Coaching has a lot to do with what type of players you have on your team and we obviously have some pretty talented ones who have allowed us to win a lot of games,” Looney said. “To me it’s more of an award for everybody involved. We won a conference championship and this award is a reflection of that.”

The Falcons, who posted a 13-3 GNAC record to claim their first outright league title since 2006, will make their sixth straight NCAA Division II Tournament appearance. SPU plays a first-round game on Friday at Western Washington’s Carver Gymnasium in Bellingham.

A 6-foot-1 point guard from Seattle’s O’Dea High School, Banchero was the league’s leading scorer in conference games with a 21.2-point average. He ranked second overall among GNAC scorers with 19.5 points per game. Banchero also ranked 11th in the conference in field goal percentage (52.7) and assists (4.0) and 13th in steals (1.33).

“He’s worked his tail off all year both during the season and prior to the season starting,” described Looney. “Chris has been big for us in a number of games this year. At his position in our conference, there’s not anybody I would rather have.”

Banchero led all SPU players in scoring on 17 occasions, including two 30-point performances and 15 games of 20-or-more points.

Joining Banchero on the six-man All-GNAC first team was senior teammate Brandon Larrieu (Puyallup, Wash./Franklin Pierce HS). The 6-foot wing player was the Falcons’ second-leading scorer at 15.8 points per game.

“I’m excited for Brandon to be recognized. He and Chris together have provided us with a backcourt as good, if not better, than anybody in our conference,” Looney said. “For both those guys to be recognized as two of the top six players in the league, that is definitely justified.”

The GNAC first team also included Morris Anderson and Derrick Webb from Western Washington, Brandon Walker from Alaska Anchorage and Blake Poole from Saint Martin’s.

Banchero and Anderson were the only unanimous first-team selections. Banchero was a second-team all-conference pick last year and Larrieu was an honorable mention honoree.

This season’s honorable mention squad included SPU senior Rob Diederichs (Shoreline, Wash./Shorewood HS), the league’s assist leader. Diederichs averaged 6.2 assists per game and his total of 167 ranks No. 5 among the Falcons’ all-time single-season leaders. The 6-foot-8 wing player averaged 4.5 points per game on 51-percent shooting from the field.

“Rob has sacrificed himself for the team this year in regards to being more of a distributor than a scorer,” explained Looney. “It’s nice that people have recognized that and haven’t just rewarded people for how many points they scored.”

Western Oregon’s Tarance Glynn was named the 2010 GNAC Freshman of the Year and Jon Clift of Central Washington was the Newcomer of the Year.

The last time SPU had the GNAC Player of the Year was 2007 when Dustin Bremerman shared the award. That same season, the Falcons' Jeff Hironaka was named the co-Coach of the Year.

The Seattle Pacific men will participate in the NCAA Tournament for the 21st time. They advanced to the national semifinals in 2000 and 2006, finishing third both times.

Banchero is West Region Player of the Year


SPOKANE, Wash. – Junior Chris Banchero, who led the Seattle Pacific men’s basketball team to the Great Northwest Athletic Conference championship, received the Daktronics NCAA Division II West Region Player of the Year award on Wednesday.

Banchero, who helped the 18th-ranked Falcons (22-5) earn their sixth straight postseason berth, out-pointed guard Jordan Lawley of UC San Diego 121-93 to earn the player-of-the-year honor.

On Monday, Banchero was named the GNAC Player of the Year. The 6-foot-1 point guard from Seattle’s O’Dea High School led SPU with 19.5 points per game. He registered double-figure points in 24 games. Banchero topped all SPU scorers 17 times and reached the 20-point plateau on 15 occasions.

He poured in 33 points against Alaska Anchorage (Jan. 28) and amassed a career-high 34 against Central Washington (Feb. 25).

Banchero twice hit game-winning shots, on Jan. 14 at Western Oregon and Feb. 20 at Montana State Billings.

Joining Banchero and Lawley on the West Region first team all-star squad were Saint Martin’s forward Blake Poole, Western Washington guard Morris Anderson and Cal State San Bernardino forward Bryan LeDuc.

Included on the West Region’s second team was SPU senior Brandon Larrieu (Puyallup, Wash./Franklin Pierce HS). The 6-foot wing player was the Falcons’ second-leading scorer at 15.8 points per game. Larrieu received first-team All-GNAC acclaim on Monday.

Rounding out the second team were forward Lucas Alves of BYU-Hawaii, guard Zac Tiedeman of Humboldt State, guard Austin Swift of Cal Poly Pomona and forward Derrick Webb of Western Washington. Alves was the West Region Player-of-the-Year last season.

Players selected to the all-region first team will now be listed on the Daktronics All-America national ballot. The All-America team will be announced later this month.

The selections are made by the sports information directors at the region’s schools that sponsor men’s basketball. The team is sponsored by Daktronics, Inc., an acknowledged world leader in scoring, timing and programmable display systems for virtually every sport at every level of competition.

The Seattle Pacific men are seeded third in the West Region and open NCAA Tournament play Friday in Bellingham against No. 6 seed BYU-Hawaii (20-5). Tip-off is 12:30 p.m. at Western Washington’s Carver Gymnasium.

MU falls to Tulsa 80-64 in C-USA Tourney

March 11, 2010 @ 08:20 PM

TULSA, Okla. — Marshall grabbed a lead at halftime, but Tulsa used a 16-0 run in the middle of the second half to earn a 80-64 win over the Thundering Herd in the quarterfinals of the Conference USA men’s basketball tournament at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla.

The Herd led by as many as nine in the second half, but the offense went cold in the middle of the half and the homestanding Golden Hurricane took full advantage. Marshall led 58-53 following a basket by Antonio Haymon, but Tyler Wilkerson headed to the bench after picking up his fourth foul with 10:34 left, and the Herd struggled on both ends without him in the game.

Tulsa’s Jerome Jordan asserted his presence underneath during the 16-0 run and the Herd failed to find anyone to step up on the offensive end. Marshall had just two field goals in the last 12 minutes of the contest and was outscored 27-6 during the span. Wilkerson led Marshall (23-9) with 16 points while Hassan Whiteside had 14 points, 10 rebounds and six blocks.

The Herd led 38-33 heading to the locker room after Antonio Haymon hit a runner at the halftime buzzer, but could not find its range in the second half, connecting on just 33 percent of its shots as the game slipped away.

Jordan led five Tulsa players in double-figures with 21 points and 12 rebounds. ben Uzoh scored 14 of his 18 points in the second half while Justin Hurtt netted 15. Donte Medder and Steven idlet had 11 and 10 respectively. Check back to http://www.herald-dispatch.com for updates.
