Perfect: Northwest Missouri State caps unbeaten
basketball season with D2 championship - Mar
30, 2019
|
Thirty-eight and oh. Northwest Missouri State is
perfect. The Bearcats men's basketball team completed a
wire-to-wire unbeaten campaign on Saturday in
Evansville, Ind., beating Point Loma 64-58 for the NCAA
Division II championship. Only four other times in the
history of Division II basketball had a team completed a
perfect season and won the national title: Findlay
(36-0), 2008-09; Fort Hays State (34-0), 1995-96; Cal
State Bakersfield (33-0), 1992-93; and Evansville
(29-0), 1964-65. No Division I men's team has finished
undefeated with a record better than 32-0. Northwest
(38-0), which also won the national championship in
2017, reinvented itself this year under head coach Ben
McCollom, finding new go-to players on a young roster
loaded with Kansas City-area and regional talent. This
championship-game victory was competitive throughout.
Point Loma's Sea Lions (31-4) kept it close but could
never catch up in the second half. 'These kids, early in
the season we had lost so many starters,' said McCollom,
whose three-year coaching record in Maryville stands an
astounding 100-5. 'They felt like they were doubted and
they played with a chip on their shoulder all season. To
go undefeated starting two freshmen and a sophomore,
it's awesome.' Senior guard and Chanhassen, Minn.,
native Joey Witthus (6'7''-G) scored 24 points to
lead Northwest. Sophomore forward Ryan Hawkins (6'7''-F) added nine with 12
rebounds, and redshirt freshman guard Trevor Hudgins,
who hails from Manhattan, Kan., finished with 12 points
and six assists. Hudgins was named the most outstanding
player of the tournament. Point Loma's Daulton Hommes (6'8''-G-96), the Division II
national player of the year, led all scorers with 26
points. Northwest advanced through the tournament
beating Minnesota State 91-62, Southern Nazarene 70-59,
Missouri Southern 82-70, Mercyhurst, 55-51 and Saint
Anselm 76-53. The sweetest moment came on Saturday, when
the Bearcats' incredible run culminated in another
championship trophy and confetti falling from the
rafters inside the Ford Center. 'After our first
scrimmage ... we were so bad in that one,' McCollom
said. 'But we turned it around.'
