Yellowjackets Roll Past Chadron, Improve to 4-0 (December 7, 2002)

BILLINGS, MT – Jerett Skrifvars scored a career-high 29 points as the MSU Billings Yellowjackets ran past the Chadron State Eagles 103-69 Saturday night at Alterowitz Gymnasium.  The win pushed the Yellowjackets’ nation-best home win streak to 36 games.

Neither team was able to find any offensive flow in the first half as the game became a physical battle.  The Yellowjackets were tabbed with two technical fouls in the opening half and the Eagles picked up another as each team played aggressively in its half court defense.

MSU Billings managed to find the shooting touch late in the half to forge a 49-32 lead at the break.  Chadron shot just 43-percent from the field and 50-percent from the free throw line, while the Yellowjackets connected on 48-percent of the field goal attempts and 90-percent of their free throws in the first half.  Chadron never did find the range from the floor or the line.  The Eagles shot 42.6-percent from the floor for the game and just 52-percent from the charity stripe.

Facing an aggressive Eagles defense, the Yellowjackets spread the floor for Skrifvars, a senior guard who is averaging 24 points per game through the first four games of this season.  Skrifvars slashed through the Chadron defense, driving the lane and hitting short jumpers en route to an 8-for-14 performance from the field.  He also made it to the free throw line 13 times, sinking all 13 attempts to raise his season average to 89-percent.

Seniors Kyle Stirmlinger and Dan Thompson also posted big games, with Stirmlinger netting netting 19 points and Thompson 18.  Bill Day added seven points and 10 rebounds, and Dave Carse scored double-digits with 13 points to go along with seven assists.

The Eagles were paced by David Deon and Matt Brown who each dropped in 12 points.  David made 5-of-6 attempts from the field and added nine rebounds.  Elijah Collins posted 10 points and six boards.
