Springfield falls in thriller
9:27: What a finish. Zack Burks’ 3-pointer with 24 seconds remaining gave Springfield a 60-59 lead, but a 3-pointer from the top of the key by David Dudgeon with eight ticks to go gave Xenia a 62-60 win. Letrell Leslie’s 3-point attempt at the buzzer banked off the backboard and rimmed out.
9:05: After three quarters, the game is tied 46-46. Xenia outscored Springfield 14-8 in the quarter. The Wildcats led by as many as eight, but back-to-back 3-pointers by the Buccs and a technical foul on Freeman gave Xenia new life. This game will likely go down to the wire.
8:37: At halftime, Springfield leads 38-32. Xenia retook the lead on six straight points by David Dudgeon at 24-22, but on the next possession he recorded his second foul. From that point, Springfield outscored the Buccs 16-8 to end the quarter. Zack Burks and Trey DePriest each had six points. Freeman added another monster dunk.
7:53: Springfield leads Xenia 18-14. An emphatic dunk by Akeem Freeman with four minutes left started a 13-7 run by the Wildcats. Trey DePriest has seven points for Springfield.
7:35: Game will be underway in about 20 minutes. Warmups starting right now. The score will be updated here after each quarter.
Springfield (2-5) is still looking for its first win at their new gymnasium. Xenia is 1-3.
