Momentum shifts can be everything in a rival game. It was just that Saturday when No. 1 Georgetown College men's basketball took on No. 15 Campbellsville University in Powell Athletic Complex. GC (16-0, 1-0) needed a baker's dozen swing to pull off the comeback win, 97-93.
It was CU (15-2, 0-1) with the first shift, rallying from nine down early in the second half to take a nine-point edge. The home Tigers led 89-80 with just under six to play as Jalen Coates scored a second straight layup.
Troy Steward started the final charge for the visiting Tigers, a 17-4 run. The junior scored a floater in the lane, but it was Jahyde Gardiner's three and a stick back that were huge for Georgetown.
He had a rebound and stick back for a five point deficit. Then set his feet in the corner for a three to be down 91-90 with 2:32 left.
Shadell Millinghaus, scoring a game-high 29, snagged a rebound and found Quan Poindexter to put the visitors up for good on the following possession. Poindexter made it a two-point game the next trip, going one-for-two at the line. Millinghaus' stick back off a miss made it four points. CU scored its final points on free throws, then fouled Millinghaus, who sealed the game at the line. The senior tallied his ninth double-double, grabbing a game-high 11 rebounds.
Steward finished with 25 points and Gardiner had 18, including a rare four-point play.
Adam Stanford led CU with 25 points, while Tim Coleman (14), Hagen Tyler (13), Andrew Smith (13) and Coates (10) also finished in double figures.
CU made its run by cashing in on numerous second chance opportunities â 20 points off 15 offensive rebounds. GC won the battle of the benches, getting 51 of its total from the reserves.
Georgetown is back in action 8 pm Thursday at Life University.
