Texans down Southern Idaho 98-95, capture 2018 NJCAA Men's Basketball National Championship
Texans down Southern Idaho 98-95, capture 2018 NJCAA Men's Basketball National Championship

HUTCHINSON, Kansas — South Plains head coach Steve Green knew his team was capable; it was just a matter of when. That moment arrived Saturday night as the South Plains College men’s basketball team knocked off College of Southern Idaho 98-95 at the Hutchinson Sports Arena to capture the 2018 NJCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship. This marks the programs third national title, all coming under Green who became only the fourth coach in the history of the NJCAA to win three national championships at the NJCAA Div. I level. “With all that we’ve been through this season, we felt like at the beginning of the year we definitely were worthy of playing on the last Saturday night, “Green said. “So many things happened over the course of the season, it started to put doubts in your mind. Then, all of a sudden at the regional tournament for whatever reason we started playing better, and maybe it was because they knew if we didn’t we would have to sack up the basketballs, and you have to give our guys a lot of credit.”

We were very, very fortunate.”

I think they missed a lot of open shots early in the game, and I don’t think we did anything on the defensive end that we should be proud of.”

We got down today and there wasn’t any quit in these guys and they deserve it, and I’m happy they will get a taste of the national tournament.” Following a 12-1 run from Odessa ceased by a Braxton Shaw’ jumper with 15:00 minutes to play in the first half, South Plains swung back with a 9-0 run capped by a 3-pointer from Deshawn Corprew which brought the Texans (23-8) within two, 12-10.

They don’t have a lot of size but are scrappy and play hard, and we tried to focus on getting our hands up and making them finish, and for a long time we did ok.” Sophomore big man Isaiah Maurice led South Plains with 20 points and seven boards, bucketing 6 of his 7 attempts from the floor was 7-for-9 from the charity stripe.
