In a face-off on the basketball court, St. Thomas-Minnesota's Raheem Anthony netted 17 points, guiding his team to a decisive 77-56 win against Kansas City. According to CBS Minnesota, Anthony's performance included connecting on 5 of his 12 shots from the field and sinking 6 of the 8 free throws he attempted. The victory bumps the Tommies' record to a solid 10-5.
Contributing to the Tommies' triumph, Kendall Blue racked up 15 points shooting a 50% field goal percentage and missing just one free throw out of six. Teammate Drake Dobbs also had a notable game, putting up 14 points, including a perfect record at the free-throw line. Despite the Tommies' less-than-stellar three-point stats, their overall offensive push was too much for the Kangaroos to fend off.
The Kangaroos, now sitting at a 6-9 record, saw Babacar Diallo as their leading scorer of the game. According to reports from the AP, Diallo managed 10 points and hauled in six rebounds. Yulian Ramirez-Montero added nine points in the effort, while Allen David Mukeba Jr. contributed six points to the team's total.
While St. Thomas-Minnesota's squad didn't pose a significant threat from beyond the arc, their ability to capitalize on free throws and mid-range game sealed the deal. This marks another loss for Kansas City, whose struggle to find a consistent offensive rhythm continues. Fans are hopeful the Kangaroos can bounce back in their upcoming matches, but for now, the shine is definitely on the Tommies as they look to extend their winning streak in the subsequent games this season.
