href=\"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/?p=83889\">No. 3 Washburn defeated the Tigers earlier this month.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Roadrunners started the game out hot, leading by as many as 11 points with 13:12 left in the first half of play. Caleb McGill scored 18 of MSU Denver\u2019s 24 first-half points.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cObviously it was a tough start,\u201d said FHSU Head Coach Mark Johnson. \u201c[McGill] hit some hard shots and played great defense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a red-hot first half, the dominant Tiger\u2019s defense held McGill to just two points in the second half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur big guys like Sean Riley and even Eli [Lawson] and his minutes, maybe statistically, their numbers don\u2019t stand out with double-figure points or rebounds, but their defense was just making it hard on [McGill] which allowed our perimeter guys to stay out and continue to take away the three,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paving the way for the Tigers was the freshman Aidan McDowell, who scored a career-high 24 points off the bench. In his 27 minutes of playing time, McDowell went 8-11 from the floor and 7-9 from beyond the arc with five rebounds on the night.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA lot of [my performance] was my teammates finding me in the right positions,\u201d McDowell said. \u201cThe coaches have been kind of on my case at practice saying, \u2018if you don\u2019t have a hand in your face, then shoot the ball,\u2019 and my teammates found me in spots where they know I\u2019m comfortable to put the ball in the hoop.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another notable contributor for the Tigers was graduate student Kaleb Hammeke. Hammeke finished with 15 points, seven rebounds and nine assists, all while shooting 6-14 from the field. Hammeke also became just the second player in FHSU program history to reach 1,700 career points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s the greatest winner I\u2019ve ever been around and coached, and I think that\u2019s the highest compliment you could ever give one of your players, and that\u2019s who Kaleb is,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cHe\u2019s just a winner and we\u2019ll miss him. That kid, just dragging everybody else at all times to win games is what he\u2019s about.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tigers will end their three-game homestand on Sunday at 2 p.m. against Regis University in their final non-conference matchup of the season.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Story by ELI BLANKINSHIP Photos by ANNABELLE MALSAM Tiger Media Network The Fort Hays State Men\u2019s Basketball team (7-3) defeated No. 22 MSU Denver (9-2)&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":142,"featured_media":84197,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":false,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3394,7349],"tags":[15885,15753,11633,3466,664],"class_list":["post-84193","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mens-basketball-sports","category-sports","tag-annabelle-malsam","tag-eli-blankinship","tag-fhsu-mbb","tag-fhsu-mens-basketball","tag-mens-basketball"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/FHSU-vs-RR-AM-23-e1734795265668.jpg?fit=1365%2C785","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84193","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/142"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=84193"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84193\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":84209,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84193\/revisions\/84209"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/84197"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=84193"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=84193"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=84193"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
