Men's Basketball 1/8/01 -- Augsburg 62, St. Thomas 61
STORY FROM UNIVERSITY OF ST. THOMAS SPORTS INFORMATION
ST. PAUL, Minn. (1/8/01) -- Senior guard
Travis Hinze (Sr., Janesville, Minn./Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton HS) scored a game-high 23 points and Augsburg College outscored the host University of St. Thomas 7-2 over the final 2:40 as the Auggies (7-3 overall, 6-0 MIAC) posted a 62-61 victory over the Tommies (7-3, 3-3) in a Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference men's basketball game Monday night in Schoenecker Arena.
The Auggies remained unbeaten in conference play and won for the seventh time in their last eight games. Augsburg survived 25 turnovers by sinking 16 of 20 at the foul line and making 64 percent from the field (14-of-22) in the second half.
Tommy Chatman (Sr., Shakopee, Minn./Jordan HS) added 13 points and six rebounds and
Matt Davis (Sr., Marshall, Minn.) had nine points and 11 rebounds for the Auggies.
Mychal Brenden (Sr., Sauk Rapids, Minn.) had 11 points and Mike Wrobel scored 10 for the Tommies, who dropped their second close game in a row.
An Augsburg charging call with 14 seconds remaining gave the Toms a chance at a go-ahead basket. But UST junior guard Mark Buri (Jr., St. Paul, Minn./Trinity HS), who finished with 20 points, saw his potential game-winning 3-point shot with five seconds to play roll off the rim.
Augsburg trailed by as much as 12 in the first half, but Chatman scored seven points to fuel a 14-4 run over the final 4:55 of the half to pull within 27-25 at halftime.
The Toms took a 59-55 lead on Kevin Fitzgerald's (So., Centerville, Minn./St. Thomas Academy HS) jump shot with 3:00 to go. But Davis made a tip-in and later made one free throw, and Chatman sank two more free throws with 2:14 left to give the Auggies a 60-59 lead. Chatman's 12-foot jumper with 1:41 left made it 62-59, but Buri answered with a basket with 1:23 to play to cut the lead to 62-61.
St. Thomas returns to MIAC play with a game Wednesday (1/10) at 7:30 p.m. at Concordia-Moorhead. Augsburg returns to action on Saturday (1/13), hosting St. John's at 3 p.m. at Si Melby Hall.
