The Anoka-Ramsey Community College Men's Basketball team advanced to the semifinals of the MCAC/Region XIII tournament with a 73-61 victory over Hibbing Community College.
A poor shooting (or good defensive) first half saw neither team take control as Anoka-Ramsey led just 25-23 at the break after a last second jumper by Michael Stephens.
In the second half, the Golden Rams put together an early run thanks to the three-point shooting of J.J. Butler and Lemuel Doe.
Each hit threes early in the half as Anoka-Ramsey built a 12 point lead with about six minutes remaining. Hibbing put together a short run to keep things close but were never able to get within striking distance.
Anoka-Ramsey shot just 37.3 percent for the game but held Hibbing to 35 percent. The Golden Rams made seven three-point shots in the second half and made 22 free throws to just 14 for Hibbing.
Anoka-Ramsey also held a 46-41 edge in rebounds.
Doe finished with 22 points on 4 of 9 shooting and 11 of 12 from the free throw line.
Butler finished with 20 points (18 in the second half) including 4 of 8 from the three point line and six rebounds.
Chris Harmon tallied 16 points and seven rebounds.
Henry Breedlove pulled in a team high ten rebounds.
The Golden Rams face Central Lakes in the semifinals at 4:00pm Saturday at Anoka-Ramsey Community College.
