CALDWELL, Idaho –
Ricardo Time scored 11 of his team-high 21 points in a game-changing 40-8 run, as The College of Idaho set a new school record for consecutive home Cascade Conference wins in a 90-47 victory over The Evergreen State College inside the J.A. Albertson Activities Center.
Celebrating Senior Night for Time,
Ivory Miles-Williams,
Derek Wadsworth and
Nathan Burman, the Yotes locked down defensively, forcing the Geoducks (3-21, 3-17) into 23 missed field goal attempts in their final 29 tries.
Labrandon Price kept the visitors in the game for the majority of the first half – canning four 3-pointers – scoring 18 of his 22 points in the first 13 minutes of the contest. A Lane Kennedy triple pulled TESC within 30-28 – but things turned south quick.
The Yotes (24-4, 18-2) started the backbreaking run with a
Charles Elzie 3-pointer as the shot clock expired, with Time and
Johnny Radford adding triples, as the lead grew to 41-30 at the break. The margin grew quickly in the second half, as Time had consecutive buckets, while
Drew Wyman,
Tyler Robinett and
Paul Wilson threw down dunks, as the margin expanded to 70-36 with nine minutes remaining.
The victory was C of I's 24th-straight home conference win – dating back to the 2018-19 season. The No. 9-ranked Coyotes completed their second-straight unbeaten home conference schedule and improved to 16-1 at home this season.
Radford scored 15 points in the win, with Robinett posting 12 points and nine rebounds and Miles-Williams adding 10 points and seven rebounds. C of I made 55-percent of their field goal attempts after halftime and held a 54-26 rebound edge.
