Game Recap: Golden Rams Survive Two Overtimes

The Anoka-Ramsey Community College Men’s Basketball team survived two overtimes to defeat Western Technical College 87-83 on Monday night.  The win was the Golden Rams third straight after dropping their previous three.
Honestly, with 50 minutes of basketball there is no way to give an accurate recap of what happened.   Anoka-Ramsey hit some shots, Western hit some shots, both teams led at various times, and both teams had chances to win at the end of regulation and the first overtime.
Here are some statistics for the game.
Anoka-Ramsey led 40-33 at halftime after shooting 48.4 percent (15-31).
Anoka-Ramsey shot just 37.8 percent overall and just 30.2 percent in the second half.
Western Tech shot 41.4 percent (29-70) from the field including 12 of 27 from the three-point line.  The Golden Rams were 11-31 from behind the arc.
Western out-rebounded the Golden Rams 58-43 but committed 23 turnovers to Anoka-Ramsey’s twelve.
Anoka-Ramsey finished the game 20 of 33 from the free throw line while Western Tech hit just 13 of their 28 free throw attempts.
The Golden Rams were led by Chris Harmon’s double-double of 23 points and ten rebounds.  Harmon was 7 of 12 shooting and 7 of 11 from the free throw line.
Lemuel Doe and David Hicks each scored 15 points.  Lucas Barraud finished with 11 points hitting 3 of 5 three-point attempts.  Michael Stephens rounded out the double-figure scorers with ten.
The Golden Rams improve to 14-6 on the season.  They start the second half of MCAC Southern Division play at home on Saturday, February 4th at 3:00pm vs. Riverland.  In their first matchup, the Golden Rams defeated Riverland 80-57.
