Central (7-13 overall, 4-7 conference) used a six-point burst to climb within 31-29 with 6:29 left in the first half but Nebraska Wesleyan closed with a 15-0 run for a 46-29 halftime advantage and added the first bucket of the second half as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe got a lot of good looks and we had the right guys shooting but the shots just didn\u2019t go down for us,\u201d coach Craig Douma said. \u201cAgainst these guys you have to make shots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Central hit 18 3-pointers, shooting 40.9 percent from 3-point range, but just 38.2 percent overall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was tough for us to finish at the rim against them,\u201d Douma said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to do a better job of that and get a little better balance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nebraska Wesleyan used its big size advantage to dominate on the glass, 48-28, and to score in the paint, shooting 55.7 percent for the night. Star guard Nate Schimonitz knocked down 12-of-16 shots, including five 3-pointers, and racked up 29 points and center Clay Reimers had 21.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey took advantage of mismatches,\u201d Douma said.<\/p>\n<p>The Prairie Wolves had a big edge on the foul line as well, as Central didn\u2019t shoot a free throw all night. Nebraska Wesleyan was 9-of-16.<\/p>\n<p>Guard <strong>Jaden Moody (junior, Cambridge, Ballard HS)<\/strong> hit five 3-pointers and scored 17 points with seven rebounds for Central. Guard <strong>Jamel McKnight (senior, Austin, Texas, Hendrickson HS)<\/strong> added 14 points, six rebounds and eight assists.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday the Dutch are at the University of Dubuque for a league women\u2019s-men\u2019s doubleheader, with the men\u2019s game starting at 4 p.m. The Spartans (12-9 overall, 5-7 conference) defeated Central 93-74 at Pella Jan. 2 and knocked off No. 18-rated rival Loras College Wednesday afternoon 96-94. Dubuque has the inside track on a berth in the six-team league tournament, sitting in sixth place, a game ahead of Central.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDubuque had a big win today,\u201d Douma said. \u201cThis is a huge game for us and the guys know it. This next stretch is important and it starts with Dubuque. They\u2019re a good team and they played well against us in our first game. We\u2019ve got to put together a good game plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Saturday\u2019s games will be broadcast on KRLS-FM (92.1) with Cory Houser.
