The Dana men’s basketball team lost a hard-fought game at
Morningside College Saturday evening 135-133 in quadruple overtime.
Dana led 40-35 at halftime and remained in the lead through nearly
the entire second half. In the final 54 seconds, with the score in
the Vikings’ favor 82-79, the Mustangs scored a lay-up then stole
the ball and scored a three-pointer to tie the game at 82.
The Mustangs took that momentum into the first overtime. Viking
Rob Cox (Hawley, Minn.) scored a 3-pointer in the final seconds to
tie the game again at 91.
By the end of the second overtime, Morningside had the lead
100-98 with 11 seconds to go. Morningside fouled Dana’s Jason
Isaacson (Council Bluffs, Iowa). Isaacson is arguably the best
free-throw shooter Dana College has ever seen. With the pressure on,
he sank two free throws to tie the score at 100 and send the game
into a third overtime.
It was Isaacson again in the third overtime. He hit a
three-pointer with three seconds left in the to tie the score at
116.
But time ran out on the Vikings in the fourth overtime.
Morningside scored a lay-up with only 11 seconds left and Dana was
unable to get another shot off. Morningside steals the win from Dana
135-133.
Isaacson set a new Dana College school record with 48 points in
the game, breaking the record he set just a few weeks ago.
