2018 NJCAA Men's Basketball National Championship Preview

HUTCHINSON, Kansas — 40 more minutes. For the fourth time in the last 11 years, South Plains head coach Steve Green has led his team to the final Saturday of the NJCAA Men’s Basketball National Tournament as the Texans look to capture the program’s third national title tonight at 7 p.m. against the College of Southern Idaho. Should the Texans come out victorious, Green will join an elite group of coaches who have won three national titles at the NJCAA Div. I level. The other three include Ronnie Arrow of San Jacinto Junior College, Allen Bradfield of Vincennes, and Joe O’Brien of Southeastern Community College. After defeating five teams ranked inside the top 25 over a 15-day span, South Plains will look for one final performance from a group of players who are battle tested to date, and safe to say they’ve seen just about everything this season.  Without their two leading scorers heading into Friday’s semifinal matchup with Eastern Florida State, the Texans kept pounding the rock defeating the Titans in dominating fashion 89-76 to put themselves in contention for a national crown.

Texans down Southern Idaho 98-95, capture 2018 NJCAA Men's Basketball National Championship

HUTCHINSON, Kansas — South Plains head coach Steve Green knew his team was capable; it was just a matter of when. That moment arrived Saturday night as the South Plains College men’s basketball team knocked off College of Southern Idaho 98-95 at the Hutchinson Sports Arena to capture the 2018 NJCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship. This marks the programs third national title, all coming under Green who became only the fourth coach in the history of the NJCAA to win three national championships at the NJCAA Div. I level. “With all that we’ve been through this season, we felt like at the beginning of the year we definitely were worthy of playing on the last Saturday night, “Green said. “So many things happened over the course of the season, it started to put doubts in your mind. Then, all of a sudden at the regional tournament for whatever reason we started playing better, and maybe it was because they knew if we didn’t we would have to sack up the basketballs, and you have to give our guys a lot of credit.”

We were very, very fortunate.”

Texans take down fourth-seeded Bruins 79-78 Wednesday in Kansas, advance to NJCAA Elite 8

HUTCHINSON, Kansas — The Texans needed both. Trailing 78-77 with eight ticks left in regulation, South Plains’ Deshawn Corprew stepped to the charity stripe for a one-and-one following a blocking foul called on Salt Lake’s Hunter Schofield. The 6-foot-6 swingman from Norfolk, Virginia made the most of the opportunity, knocking down consecutive free throws to put the Texans up one. Needing one final stand, the Bruins pushed the floor for an opportunity to win it, but Dalven Brushier’s desperation 3 from the top of the key clanked off the side of the rim as South Plains knocked off the fourth-seeded Bruins 79-78 to advance to the Elite 8 against Connors State (31-3) at 6 p.m. on Thursday.

I think they missed a lot of open shots early in the game, and I don’t think we did anything on the defensive end that we should be proud of.”

Texans capture Region V title, sink Odessa 101-92 to advance to 2018 NJCAA Men's Basketball National Tournament

WOLFFORTH — The objective was clear: Win, and you’re in. Mission accomplished. Staring down conference foe Odessa College in the Region V title game for a spot in the 2018 NJCAA Men’s Basketball National Tournament, the Texans never flinched, overcoming a 12-1 deficit in the opening minutes to down the seventh-ranked Wranglers 101-92 and capture the 2018 Region V crown Saturday at the Tiger Pit on the campus of Frenship High School. “This is a great feeling because we’ve known all year long we had the potential to do this, and we finally put it all together,” said South Plains head coach Steve Green, who won his sixth regional title with the Texans on Saturday. “I think the benefit of playing a tough schedule paid off for us. We got down today and there wasn’t any quit in these guys and they deserve it, and I’m happy they will get a taste of the national tournament.” Following a 12-1 run from Odessa ceased by a Braxton Shaw’ jumper with 15:00 minutes to play in the first half, South Plains swung back with a 9-0 run capped by a 3-pointer from Deshawn Corprew which brought the Texans (23-8) within two, 12-10. Freshman Keith McGee would give South Plains its first lead of the contest at the 11:47 mark in the front half with a triple from the corner to put the Texans up 17-14.

WOLFFORTH — Answer back. Following a 14-4 run from No. 20 McLennan to begin Friday’s Region V semifinal matchup, South Plains head coach Steve Green signaled for a timeout. The message over the next 30 seconds seemed to resonate with his team, as the Texans answered the call with a 20-8 barrage capped by a Jordan Brangers’ 3-ball to put South Plains on top 24-22, as they went on to defeat the Highlanders 85-76 Friday at the Tiger Pit to advance to the Region V championship game Saturday at 2 p.m. against No. 7 Odessa. “For the past 48 hours, it seems like our guys were shot out of a cannon,” Green said. “Today, I don’t think we expected the 3-point barrage even though we told them that’s what they could do. I was really shocked it was 14-4, and it happened fast. To our guys’ credit, they stayed composed and started chipping back and got right back in it, fast.”

They don’t have a lot of size but are scrappy and play hard, and we tried to focus on getting our hands up and making them finish, and for a long time we did ok.” Sophomore big man Isaiah Maurice led South Plains with 20 points and seven boards, bucketing 6 of his 7 attempts from the floor was 7-for-9 from the charity stripe.

The Texans will meet Ranger College in their opening round contest at 3 p.m. on March 7 at the Tiger Pit. “I thought they played much more aggressive than us in the first half,” South Plains head coach Steve Green said. “It seemed like every time they got the ball they scored or shot it missed it and got it back. They got to the rim, they drove us, we just had no answer for them in the first half. I think they started settling and the zone got us back in the game, but we had the ball several times with a four-point deficit and played like a group of guys who’ve never played together.”

We got in a zone with an eight-point lead, and I think they felt like they had to get it all back at one time. I think when we went to the two-three zone, the game could have gone either way.”
