Barnes Scores 22 Points as Redhawks Drop Cream City Classic Finale
11/28/2022 9:36:00 PM | Men's Basketball
MILWAUKEE, Wis. – Israel Barnes scored 22 points as Southeast Missouri (5-3) dropped its final game of the Cream City Classic, 84-68, to tournament host Milwaukee (5-3) Monday night at the Klotsche Center.
Â
MKE won the four-team event with a 3-0 record.
Â
Barnes gave SEMO a nice boost off the bench, particularly in the first half. He entered the game and scored 11-straight points to grab the Redhawks an 18-13 lead with 10:27 left.
Â
However, SEMO fell into a big hole right after that when the Panthers answered with 18-consecutive points and a 21-1 run to take a 34-19 advantage. The Redhawks lone point during that time was a free throw by Josh Mitchell which snapped his team's 4:53 scoreless drought.
Â
Three-pointers on back-to-back possessions, including one by BJ Freeman and the other by Elijah Jamison ran MKE's lead to 17 (46-29) before the Panthers led, 46-31, at halftime.
Â
Barnes scored 13 points, including nine from 3-point range, in the first half alone.
Â
SEMO managed to cut MKE's lead to 68-60 on a pair of free throws by Barnes with 5:53 to go, but that was as close as the Redhawks could get.
Â
The Redhawks missed their next seven field goals and the Panthers went on a 12-0 run to pull away for good.Â
Â
Barnes shot 7-of-14 from the field, 4-of-8 from downtown and a perfect 4-of-4 at the free throw line in 21 minutes of action. It was the first time he scored double figures in his career.
Â
Aquan Smart followed with 12 points and Phillip Russell chipped in 11 for his eighth double-digit scoring game this year.
Â
MKE shot 51 percent (26-of-51) and outrebounded SEMO, 44-28. Additionally, the Panthers committed 22 turnovers.
Â
SEMO travels to SEC member and in-state foe Missouri on Dec. 4.
