Top offenses square off in second round of NJCAA National Tournament The top seeded Cincinnati State Surge will play No. 8 seed Central Community College (NE) in the 2nd round of the NJCAA Mens Basketball National Tournament in Danville, IL on Thursday. The Surge (28-3), rank second in the NJCAA with a 99.2 team scoring average. The Raiders (24-10) rank No. 6, averaging just over 90 points per contest. The Surge advanced to the final field of eight teams thanks to a 22-7 late second half run, leading to an 80-65 win over Garrett College (MD) on Tuesday. The Surge had a balanced scoring attack led by sophomore guard Winston Grays, who finished with 16 points. The Surge will try to slow down a Central team which defeated John Wood College, 89-82, thanks to a 37 point performance from forward Tyron Criswell. Central does a lot of things well. They like to play a fast paced, up and down style, Cincinnati State coach Andre Tate said. They are a completely different type of team than what we had seen in the first round in Garrett. At this point in the season, we can play any style of basketball and look forward to getting back out on the court on Friday in this type of environment. Our guys are an extremely focused and motivated group heading into this game. Cincinnati State will attempt to extend its winning streak to 13 games and advance to Fridays national semifinal. Thursdays action from Danville Area Community College can be seen live at 7:30 pm est via - ihigh/dacc/broadcast_338386.html?silverlight=1 For more information on the NJCAA Mens National Tournament, please visit - njcaa.org/sports_nationalChampionship.cfm?category=National%20Championship&sid=5&divid=2&slid=2
