KILJ — Joey Brown poured in a game-high 36 points as Iowa Wesleyan held on for a 77-75 win over Lincoln Christian.
Wesleyan took a 13-point lead late in the first half thanks to an 18-4 run, but the Red Lions countered and even controlled a five-point, 70-65 lead with just over three minutes to play.
That’s when Brown took over.
The freshman from Miami, Florida put on a display reminiscent of the great Dwayne Wade, scoring 10 of the team’s next 12 points, propelling the Tigers to a 12-5 run to earn their 11th win of the year.
He also finished with four boards, three assists and a blocked shot.
The Tigers will be back in action on Thursday, February 10th, as they travel to Davenport to take on St. Ambrose.
The game is set to start at 7:00 p.m. and you can listen on FM 98.5 and AM 1130.
