Pictures courtesy of Terri JohnsonThe Rebels stay ahead of the Bears pretty much the entire 1st half behind the inside game of Kyle Zimmermann 13 points & 14 rebounds who notched his first double double of the year. They go into the locker room up 34-28 at the half. The Rebels continue to run the court well in the 2nd half as the Bears can not get up and down with them.
Their defense in the 2nd half stops the Bears in a couple of 3 minute stretches. With Hager and Marquardt in at the guards and applying relentless pressure, the Rebels don't allow a shot in 5 straight possessions at the 5 minute mark to pull away for the win.
The Rebels have four players in double digits. Spencer Cummings led the Bears with 16 points. The Box:
Pella 20
Zimmermann 13
Theisen 12
Duberry 11
Munneke 9
Williamson 2
Of note ...
- Hager - plays more meaningful minutes and his defense in a 2nd half run help the Rebels pull away.
- Theisen - never finds his range and forces up some bad shots.
- Duberry - consecutive made free throw streak ends at 14, restarts and goes to 5)
- Zimmermann - season high 14 rebounds.
- Munneke - good all around game (4 rebounds, 2 assist & 3 steals)
