MEN’S BASKETBALL ‘Ronnel Jordan Show’ silences Maine By SAM DONNELLY STAFF WRITER

The last time the UNH men’s basketball team played at home, there was a serious lid on the rim. The Wildcats shot a measly 23 per- cent. As the Wildcats returned home to take on Maine, the hope was that someone on the Lundholm Gymnasium staff had removed the lid, and it seems they certainly did; UNH shot 52 percent to take down the 88-75. “At this time of the year every win is a great win,” head coach Bill Herrion said. “You don’t sit and analyze them, you just try and win and get out. It’s time to move on to the next one.” The Wildcats got 25 points, 20 in the second half, and 11 rebounds from senior Ronnel Jordan. Tanner Leissner racked up 26 points and nine rebounds, while Jaleen Smith chipped in with 12 points and six rebounds despite foul trouble. Together those three players accounted for 65 percent of the Wildcats’ 88 points. “I definitely had an attack mindset with Jaleen out,” Jordan said. “We needed the offense. I was trying to do whatever for my team and I was trying to win.” The Black Bears were paced by Kevin Little who had 23 points. Shaun Lawton chipped in with 19. With the win, the Wildcats improve to 14-9, with a 7-3 conference record. The Black Bears slip to 8-16 and 4-7 in conference. The Wild- cats not only improved their hold on third place in the standings with a win, but Vermont, who had beaten the Wildcats earlier this season, has now lost two in a row and falls to fourth in the standings. As the game began, it was clear to see that the Wildcats’ goal was to run and attack in transition, something that fits Jordan perfectly. “It plays into my game,” Jordan said. “I’m more of a transition slasher, so I took advantage of their opportunity.” UNH was also focused on shooting better than the last home game, making five of its first six shots. The Wildcats jumped quickly to a 9-2 lead, but the Black Bears fought back. This would become a theme of the game. With 4 minutes left in the first half, the Black Bears grabbed their first lead, at 30-28, off of an Aaron Clalixte jumper. The Wildcats fought back to close the half 43-38 off of two big three-pointers from Leissner and Joe Bramanti. The second half was the Ronnel Jordan show, accompanied by Leissner. Both players combined for 30 points and 11 rebounds in just the second half. The Wildcats scored 22 points in the paint and got 12 second chance points off of offensive rebounds. Leissner had four of offensive boards in the game and three huge ones in the second half. “Tanner is just a horse,” Herrion said. “I couldn’t take him out of ANDREW YOURELL/STAFF MBB continued on Page 13 Ronnel Jordan’s first career double-double helped UNH fend off the Maine Black Bears on Monday.
