In typical tale of two halves fashion, the Spartans (2-3) turned a tepid first half into a dogfight of a second half where late game heroics earned a 75-74 win over the favored Northern Colorado Bears (3-4).
Leading the way with 28 points to lead all scorers was junior guard and scholar-athlete Omari Moore. Moore’s last two emphatic points with four seconds left no doubt who the best player on the floor was on this evening.
“On that last one, I saw the guard open up his hips and turn his head a little bit, so a straight-line drive to the basket was wide open,” said Moore describing his winning slam and drawing the foul.
