Ichabods fall in cold-shooting 2nd half at Northeastern State

TAHLEQUAH, Okla. -- The roadtrip to face Northeastern State continued to be a House of Horrors as the Ichabods fell to 0-3 all-time in Tahlequah as they fell 75-65 to the RiverHawks. Washburn will be back in action on Saturday afternoon against Central Oklahoma.

With 1:45 to go, Washburn cut the RiverHawk lead to 69-65 on a 3-pointer by Cameron Wiggins, who led the Ichabods with 20 points. After the RiverHawks hit 1 of 2 free throws with 1:25 to play stretching the lead back to five at 70-65, the Ichabods missed on their next trip down the court and a foul sent the RiverHawks back to the line where they hit both going up six with 1:08 to play. 

Washburn came up empty on its next trip with under a minute to play and would not get any closer as Northeastern State would go on for the 10-point win.

The Ichabods trailed 37-35 at the break after a 3-pointer at the buzzer put the RiverHawks on top heading into the locker room. The Ichabods led by as many as eight points in the first half and for the last time at 27-19 after a bucket by Javion Blake with 6:19 remaining. The RiverHawks then went on a 13-2 run taking a 32-29 lead.

In the second half with Washburn leading by six at 45-39, the Northeastern State responded with a 15-2 run over the next 4:45 to take a 54-47 lead with 10:25 to play as the Ichabods would not get any closer than three at 62-59 the rest of the game.

Following Wiggins' 20 points, Andy Wilson scored 10 off the bench. Brady Skeens scored seven with a team-high nine rebounds adding four blocks for the third-straight game. Randall Smith had nine points with four assists. 

Trey Mohair led the RiverHawks with 21 points.

Washburn was outrebounded 54 to 39 as the RiverHawks entered the game with an even rebound margin.

The Ichabods (9-4, 5-3 MIAA) finished the game shooting 19 of 53 for a 36 percent clip going 8 of 28 in the second half while the RiverHawks (3-9, 2-6 MIAA) finished 23 of 68 overall for a 34 percent average.
