Dixie with a lead. Dixie with the basketball. 9 seconds left on the clock and Dixie almost with a victory. Trying to. Trying to close the lid on this one as they can. Inbound Valley OOP goes to Darrell White. Deflected. Rick College gets the field. Doug Hart, long three point attempt, no good. Rebound taken by degrange who puts it up and in. And that ends the ball game as Degrange brings it to a nine point margin. Final score, Dixie 86, Rick College 77. Take a deep breath, count this one as a victory and Dixie will go to the championship game of Region 18. We'll take this break and be back with the scoring totals and talk with Ken Wagner back after this. Steve Ogden's Carpet Outlet. I thought they came out and played a very good game, but I was really happy the way our guys came back when they needed to and really did a job. Rick's forced the tempo. It was their tempo all night. It was. They play a half court. Pardon? They play a half court game offensively and they take their time and really pound it inside or go inside out and try and get a shot and they did a good job of that. Trent Shippen, Greg Housekeeper had good scoring nights, but Trent Shippen did not get the scores in the first half until. Except in an early stretch, you shut him down in the first half. Greg Housekeeper in the stretch in the second half. When you took control, you kept the ball away from him. Well, I thought we did an excellent job defensively at times and there were times offensively when we sputtered a little bit. We spread it out, wanting to take some time off the clock and then attack the basket and we weren't attacking like we needed to, but I thought we played very well as the team. Roger had another big night. Craig and Rob did a great job defensively and Pete, you know, they're all the same. Dave got in foul trouble and didn't get to play as much. Steve Andrus played well on the boards, but I thought maybe the whole key in the second half was that stretch where Darrell White just totally dominated the boards for a period of three minutes. We talked about that before the game. Rebounding in defense again, rebounding is a key against Rick it is. They're so big, if we can out rebound them, then we're in pretty good shape. Darrell White, a pressure ball player suddenly for Dixon. Oh, he is. He came in, I think, had the jitters early on, didn't shoot very well, but he has to have a big night tomorrow night if we're going to do well. Foul situation. First half heavily in favor of Briggs College. Dixie called with a lot of foul. Second half even down a little bit. In fact, if anything went against Rick. Well, I thought in the first half there were a few ticky fouls there. Two times I didn't even see any contact and I thought it was very ticky, tacky. And we talked about halftime, that we better completely get our hands off, not go for any blocks and just try and cut the seams off. But they played, you know, they played a real good game and in the first half they were in a zone part of the time and you usually don't foul as much for Dixie. Let's talk about some heroes. Roger McDonald. I thought Roger shot the ball every time we needed it. He hit, you know, did an excellent job and Pete kept us in it early on, hit some critical shots and Clint didn't have a real good night, but he did hit some baskets when we needed him. He jumped and must like the color yellow. He plays very well up here. He really does. And I don't know how many points he had, but he did an excellent job. I had him for 20 on the night. Oh, great. I hope he does the same thing tomorrow night. Your guard stepped up and you've got some key baskets. Rob Ross, Craig Hopkins got some key with. They did. They're great little guards and I think they really worse. Shipping down. I don't know how many points did he end up with? Shipping ended up with 19. Got some late in the game but really didn't hurt you much in the second half. Well, I thought, you know, we gave him a couple of open ones but for the most part he had to earn what he got. And I think he hit a couple of three point plays in the first half and two and ones that got him though 30 victories on the year. That is a major milestone. Well, we're excited about it, but none of them count as much as tomorrow night. College of Southern Idaho dominating against North Idaho. Were you surprised about that? I was surprised. They played that well. They have a great team and we have our job cut out for us tomorrow night. A little bit of the same situation. A lot of ticky fouls in the first half cost North Idaho. I didn't see the first half. I walked in and was a little surprised to see that spread 61 to 30 or whatever it was at halftime. And they're a very good team and we're going to have to be smart and and play well. Half court game sometimes is not that pretty. Is this a Winning ugly night for Dixie? Oh, I don't know. I thought we did some real good things. We're just happy to win. It's always tough the first night of a tournament and we lost last year, so at least we're past the first day and we're looking forward tomorrow night. History says Dixie plays better the second night out. I hope so. A lot of Dixie fans are hoping so, too. The compilation game, Ricks versus North Idaho. You were involved in that last year. Some fans, me included, like consolation games. Coaches dread them, though. Oh, I hate consolation games. I couldn't think of anything worse than having to play tomorrow night. In fact, if it had been a little closer, I may have reminded the ones that were here last year the how horrible it was to get ready to play the next night at 7 o'. Clock. We're happy. We're playing at 9. Let's talk about the intensity of the team mentally coming into this game. Were you pleased with that? I was. I didn't think we carried out our game plan like we wanted to when we got all those early fouls, because the way we'd talked, we thought we'd had them convinced not to get dumb fouls. And we picked up a lot of quick dumb ones that we shouldn't have been getting tomorrow night. College of Southern Idaho, you own victories against each other. This is the rubber match, I guess so. And it's up to their home court, but it's. We're excited to play them here and it'll be even more fun to beat them on their own home court. You're confident? Well, I don't know if you know. I feel very confident the way our team's playing. And I really feel if we execute the way we can, the game plan we've set up and we've really been preparing for this game for two weeks since we played them last time and never mentioned it to the players. But our practices and the things we've been doing have been geared to this game and we feel we'll give it our best shot. I think we've had a great year, but that's been one of our goals. And so we're looking forward to tomorrow, to the game. Now, that's interesting. You say you've been preparing for CSI and not letting the players know, just subtle things that you've been trying to do in practice. Well, the things that we feel we have to do in order to beat them and obviously they'll help us against other teams too, but we're doing specific things offensively. And defensively, that we think can hurt them. Offensively, things have been coming together in the last little bit and getting more of a flow with the offense. Struggled at times tonight, but that must be part of your plan. Well, it is. I think we have to have good movement, meet the ball and be aggressive. It's, I think, kind of interesting. We'll have to be very patient offensively, yet very aggressive, and that's a hard combination. But I really feel our players can do that. And if we do that, I think we'll have a good chance of beating them. Can you run on csi? Oh, definitely. We have to run with our team. That's what. We score in spurts, too. But we have to be smart and run at the right times. Rebounding once again is going to be a key. It is. I feel the game was won last time on rebounding and turnover, so we need to be ready. Coach Ken Wagner, congratulations on the victory tonight. Take that one home, mark it up as number 30 and got to be pleased with that one. Oh, I'm happy for our team. They've worked hard and they deserve it and hopefully we'll do a good job tomorrow night. Coach Ken Wagner, head coach of Dixie College, victorious tonight. It's to the championship of Region 18. Congratulations, Coach. Well, thank you, Larry. Final score once again. Dixie coming up with a victory 86 to 77 over Ricks College. A reminder that the Lady Rebels lost tonight to Utah Tech, 95, 67. So the region 18 women will be North Idaho versus Utah Tech for the championship down there here tomorrow night, 7 o', clock, Ricks College versus North Idaho in the consolation matchup. And those teams, I guess you could say those teams that were expected to win one tonight. A lot of talk up here that Ricks might be able to pull the upset against Dixie after their fine effort in St. George. A lot of talk that North Idaho, playing as well as they have all year, could pull the upset against CSI because they have played well in this gym in previous years. But neither of the upsets really, really were that close tonight to taking place, as North Idaho had some struggles early and CSI just blew them off the floor. Dixie College came close to blowing Ricks off the floor early, but the Vikings got back in it and Dixie just took command in the second half and rode home on a winner and came across with their 30th victory of the night.

Free throws. 11:19 left in the first half. 21, 21 TY CSI looking for their largest lead of the night. Newman shot up and good. Newman now one for two from the free throw line.

Reynolds about ready to come in for Johnson. McDonald shot up short. McDonald now 2 for 3 from the free throw line. McDonald helped win the ball game in St. George with Sterling free throw shooting. One miss on each side from the free throw line. 31:25. Dixie trails by six to CSI 9:16 left in a ball game and it's obviously a heavily favorable CSI crowd as you would expect to be caught up.

Has his left side safe. Rossum left angle. Darrell White, 17 footer. No good. Rebound on the floor. Saved by Reynolds. Which way does it go? Reynolds stepped out of bounds, so they say.

They call the foul on Rossum from behind. Rossam on the reach in. And one and one. Coming up for Newman. Or did they say a two shot foul? That's number two foul on Clint Rossum. Drevnik to come out. And into the lineup for the first time is Bill Wurskie. Wirski, a transfer from Creighton University in Omaha. Rossian replacing Clint Rossum. It'll be the two little guards in there and at the free throw line. Jackson, Newman came over, borrowed one of the Dixie towels to wipe his forehead. Newman as you talk with the Dixie players. Considered one of the most gentlemanly opponents that Dixie has. Such a hard working young man being heavily recruited by three or four schools. Newman first shot up and good. Newman now three straight free throws. Makes it 32, 28. Back to a four point lead for CSI. 7:32 left in the game. Pete Johnson about ready to come back in again. Shot up by Newman. Up and good. And Newman four straight. Four for five on the ninth. Johnson in. Who goes out? Darrell White to sit down. And so it'll be a little smaller lineup for Dixie. With Bill Worski in there and Drevnik out, Dixie feels like they can go with a little smaller, quicker lineup. Quickness for quickness. Dixie may be a little quicker. The double team. Ross gets it to Hopkins, lays it up. Blocked and fouled by Reynolds. Reynolds with a versatile foul. Dixie on the two man trap. Ross went right between the two guards. Got the bounce pass to Hopkins. Reynolds got the foul and Hopkins will shoot a couple. The CSI on csi Fans thought it was a clean block. Hopkins to the free throw line. Reynolds, the top high school athlete in the state of Oregon last year can get up in the air. Not quite as well as Joey Johnson, but who can? Hopkins to shoot a couple 63 for four from the free throw line. Hopkins shot up, no good 60, has to hit the free throw. 33:28. Five point lead by CSI with 7:23 left in the first half of play. Craig Hopkins second shot up and no good. Rebound brought down. Battles for Worsky and McDonald. They call the foul on McDonald. Unbelievable. McDonald has his first and Worsky will shoot free throws. Or do they call him stepping out of bounds? Is it a foul or is it stepping out of bounds? They say the foul on McDonald is one and one. Dixie will shoot one and one the rest of the night. But it's 7:21 left and right now it's a five point lead. And Craig Hopkins talking to Blaine Sylvester got a smile out of him for something he said. Psi to the free throw line. Worsky, Bill Horski, 6 foot 7 inch sophomore being recruited by Texas Tech in the Southwest Conference. Shot up by Worsky. Good CSI now 9 for 10 from the free throw line and has a 6 point lead 34 28. Dixie does not want to let this one get away from them as they did the first in the last time they were here. Second shot, no good. Rebound taken by McDonald. McDonald to Rob Ross. Ross into forecourt. Will take the three point attempt. Is it good? No rebound brought down by Newman. Fast break csi, Newman quickly up court. It goes to Keith Jackson. Jackson cut off by Hopkins. It's The Trader Gomez three point attempt. Good. Gomez four for five from the three point area. Suddenly it's 37 to 28, a nine point lead and Gomez unbelievable. Has four three pointers and a two pointer. Ross against Gomez, leaves it for Craig. Hopkins and Dixie trying to hang on right now. Hopkins through the basket, banks it. No good rebound. McDonald puts it up and foul on Wirsky. So McDonald will shoot free throws. Worsky has his first personal. McDonald's cuts the margin to seven. Joey Johnson, Fred Trankel and Steve Irons all up consulting along the bench area. Wirsky has his first. It's a one on one situation the rest of the night, but this is not a one on one situation. Andrus into the lineup, Andrus in and who goes out? Dave Falsem. Pete Johnson will be on the left side, Craig Hopkins on the right side and Andrus will drop back as his center fielder. Almost 37 to 30. McDonald trying to complete the three point play does so and McDonald four for five on the night. That's a total of 10 points. 37, 31. Dixie back within six again. They got the three points back the hard way. Jackson pass on the wing to the baseline. It goes to Newman. Newman in the lane to Wirsky. Muscle shot, good foul will go to Andrus. Wirsky down the lane, got the basket. Andrus gets the foul. And CSI just trying to inch away from Dixie now. Six, 28 left, make it 39 to 31. And Ken Wagner shaking his head. Johan Reynaldo the seven footer from North Idaho behind the Dixie bench shaking his head again. Wagner wondering about the offensive foul on Wirsky. It was out there. 39 to 31. CSI tried to take that nine point lead again. 6:28 left in the first half. Wirski 1 for 2, shot up, no good. Rebound Steve Andrus. The Wirski misses Craig. Hopkins looks for help into forecourt. Wants to get it to Pete Johnson if they can to Rob Ross. Ross to Johnson. Johnson against Reynolds. Reynolds a little quicker than Joey. Johnson to Craig Hopkins. Hopkins against Reynolds, back to Pete. Johnson. Wants to go against Jackson. They call the travel on Johnson. Unbelievable. Apparently Johnson shuffled the pivot foot before he went and they called the travel. Johnson not arguing turnover by Dixie. And that's something Dixie cannot afford to do. Johnson was around Keith Jackson, but apparently the travel was what helped get him around Jackson. Jackson at the angle, that goes to Gomez. Gomez to Keith Reynolds. Reynolds looks for help against Hopkins at the left angle. It goes to Jackson. Jackson against Ross. Jackson dribbles it in the backcourt. As soon as he picks it up, it's a backcourt violation.

We, in fact, we interviewed him last year in Phoenix, Arizona. Dan Dion, the assistant in New Mexico State. And Dan, glad to have you back with us. Nice to be back. Former Weber State star, finished at St. Mary's College and then an assistant coach at Weaver. You know Utah? Yeah, I know Utah. I've been around a while and it's good to get back and watch Dixon College play again. Let's talk a little bit about New Mexico State. Neil McCarthy has some things happening down there. Yeah, we had. We won. We, we finished 15 and 15 this year, but we lost some key players right at the start of the season. We played all sophomore freshmen this year, finished third in the pcaa and we felt we accomplished quite a bit this. This past year. Pcaa. A lot of people are saying it's down except unlv. Is it? Well, I don't agree with that. I, you know, it looks that way. I just think UNLV is so powerful this year. They had a very few close games all year with anyone and I thought our league, it was very young this year. I don't think it was down. I think it's going to be very strong next year. UNLV no real big man in there in the starting lineup. They're doing it with a lot of runs, I guess you could say. Well, arming Gilliam is not what you call a true sinner, but I don't know of too many better big men in the country. I think he finished fifth in a voting for player of the year. He's just a great, great player. And when it gets tough for unlv, they go to the big man in there and he's pretty good. No question. VCAA has balance beyond unlv, right? Very, very much what they call parity in the conference. Everybody has them back next year. I think you'll see a big change in the ranks next year. I think UNLV have course will be favored again but I think people are starting to get closer. New Mexico State, your good kids who, who you'll have back next year. Who do you have coming back? We have three. We had three sophomore starters. Johnny Robertson, a 6A player out of San Antonio, C. McLaughlin, our 6 9th center out of Fresno. As a sophomore we had a starting lead guard, point guard out of Houston. Texas is back and Jeff McCool, another six, five swing men will be coming back for us. Plus we signed some real good junior college players early. So we're really excited about next year to get going. Looking for a few more in the ranks apparently. Yeah, of course we, we. We lose our top player, Ken Travis, he's an off guard. So we're going to try to fill that position especially and that's why I'm here tonight. I'm looking at the real good talent that these two teams possess. Point guards. We could probably name a whole bunch of them right there. CSI with Jackson and Collins and Dixie with Ross and Hopkins. And obviously there's a lot of point guard talent right there. It seems that that way this year. In all the junior college ranks throughout the country there, there seems to be excellent lead guards around. It's just unfortunate that our lead guard happens to be a freshman. We're not looking for that position this year. Let's talk a little bit about this particular ball game. Assess the first half. Well, I tell you what, I think it's. It's just a matter of great perimeter shootings for Southern Idaho. I think that's what gave them Their lead, the Gomez kid, I believe his name is, just shot tremendously from outside. I mean, shots that you normally don't even take in offenses. I think also from Dixie standpoint, they have to defensive rebound a little better. I think they've given up a couple offensive boards, and therefore you're looking at a 48, 40 ballgame. Is Dixie out of it? Oh, no way. I think Clint Rossum didn't have his best half. I think if he can come out and play an excellent half for him, McDonald the same way. They're two guns have to play well in the second half for them to get back in this thing. I know everybody second guesses coaches. I'll let you second guess Fred Trankel and Ken Wagner. If you're Fred Trankel, what does Fred have to do? I think what Fred has to do is tell them to be patient, run their offense, keep playing aggressively, try to maybe get the ball inside a little more, because I think in the second half, if it does get close, you'll be looking at a free throw or something of that nature to win the basketball game for Dixie coach Ken Wagner. What does he need for Ken? I think Ken's got to tell them that they can't let Southern Idaho get the easy second shot. They do have to cover Gomez out there, regardless if he's 25ft out or not. You got to get out and you got to guard him and be patient, try to get back in this thing the first five minutes and make it a game in the last. Some people have said that this might really be the game for the national championship. You've seen a lot of junior colleges. Is it this tough? Well, I tell you what, I've seen a lot of junior colleges out in the west, and I've seen a lot in Texas. I've seen a lot in Kansas, and I believe these are two of the finest junior colleges in the country. You've seen a lot of junior college talent. Is junior college up this year? It's always hard to say. I think junior. I don't think it's as strong as it has been, whatever reason that is. But I think there are some fine talent. It's just not as much this year, and I think it's that way all over the country. High school and junior college. The big man seems to be what everyone's looking for, and David Robinson seems to be the only real good big man around. Right? And there's not a lot of big men around right now that you can really call. We signed a young man out Of Las Vegas, Mike Collins, who's who we feel is going to be a real fine player. He's 6, 10, he's just learning how to play the game and we're going to do a lot of work with him. Hopefully he'll be a good player for us down the road. Is it is the future of basketball really with the 6, 8 forward the way it looks? Well, I'll tell you what, with the rule changes being what they are, you get more credit for shooting a 19 foot jump shot than you do trying to work the ball and getting an easy layup. There's a lot to be said about that. I think teams are starting to look in those terms. If you can't get a real big man, why not go with three, six, eight athletes and see what you can do up and down the floor? Now you were a guard. Yeah. Do you like the three pointer? I would have loved it when I played as a coach. I don't. I think it's changing the game. I don't think they did enough study when it comes to the effect it'll have on the game with the coach clock the way it is. And now you're throwing a three point shot. I think it's changed the thinking of a lot of coaches. I'm personally one of those thinkers that if you run good offense, you're patient, you get good shots. I think that's basketball. It seems like some teams have lose their patience. They shoot it a little early, so I'm not really for it, but it has added some excitement into the ball game. Dan Dionne, the assistant coach at New Mexico State University, thank you for being with us. Good luck and your recruiting and special luck next year. Thank you very much. Appreciate it.
