Players clear space as Jekany Deang rocks the rim with a dunk for NDSCS
The North Dakota State College of Science (NDSCS) men lost twice in the Baymont Classic hosted at Ed Werre Arena in Wahpeton. The Wildcats fell 73-64 to Rochester and 89-82 to Anoka-Ramsey. NDSCS is now 4-3 on the season.
Jekany Deang, a 6-foot-11 freshman, led the Wildcats with 48 points and 16 boards across two games, playing 31 minutes in each contest.
Mikkel Cintron stepped up Saturday with a career-high 23 points and seven rebounds, but Anoka-Ramsey outscored NDSCS 53-49 in a second-half shootout to lock down the win.
The Golden Rams were led by 25 points and four steals from Albert Tinnell IV. Anoka-Ramsey is coached by former UConn Huskie and 1999 NCAA National Champion Kahlid El-Amin, who played pro basketball for the Chicago Bulls.
