ICC beat Harper College, of Palatine, IL
and nice find Big Mike.
Harper had 28 wins last year, and advanced all the way to the Final Four of the NJCAA tourney, taking THIRD place, and they return some key players including All Conference Jarvis Cobb.
Harper is a Division III junior college, ICC is D-II.
ICC has done a very poor job with its web site, and although the 2006-2007 schedule is up, nothing else on the athletic website is current for this year!
ICC played Harper College at the ICC gym in East Peoria, and won 83-74
ICC jumped to a 10-2 early lead in the first half, then Harper had its own 9-3 run to close within 13-11 with 15:11 left in the first half.
It became quite clear, just as in the Bradley exhibition, that ICC was not going to have trouble putting points on the scoreboard.
Illinois Central then responded with a six unanswered points, followed by nine more unanswered points by Harper.
That gave Harper a 20-19 lead, with Harper benefitting from a technical foul midway through the 1st half.
Harper's lead did not last long as ICC had several other runs, finally taking a 41-35 lead into the lockerroom at the half.
It was a see-saw battle in the second half for a while.
Harper got back within one point at 53-52 with 12:11 left, but again IC responded with a 14-3 run over the next five minutes. Harper was able to close the gap again to one at 69-68 after a four-point play with 3:51 left, but Illinois Central was just too much for the Hawks as it outscored Harper 14-5 in the final 3:36.
ICC's DeAaron Williams scored from just about everywhere and led both squads with 29 points.
Both Robert Guillory (Thornridge) and Robert Rhodes (Schaumburg) finished with 16 points each for Harper, Jamal Roper (Hoffman Estates) had 13 points for Harper,and Jarvis Cobb (Elgin HS) added 12 points.
