BAYTOWN — San Jacinto College, the
fifth-ranked junior college team in the nation,
needed a hand from the officiating crew to
escape the Lee College Sports Complex on
Wednesday with a 104-100 victory.
The Runnin’ Rebels gave their best effort
of the year, matching the Ravens shot for
shot right up to a 98-all tie on Ashley
Thibodeaux’s sixth 3-pointer of the game
with 1:27 remaining.
The shot would have given the Rebels a
three-point lead if not for a blown call one pos-
session earlier San Jacinto’s Darnell Hopkins
drove the left baseline and ran over a stationary
Richard Hipolito.— and the three officials
looked on and did nothing. Hopkins recovered
the ball and a foul was whistled as he went up
again, making the basket and the free throw for
a 98-95 lead.
The call should have come as no surprise as
it was a recurring theme throughout the night,
as the Rebels were called for touch foul after
touch foul, while the Ravens generally shoul-
dered the Rebel players off the ball at every
opportunity with no call.
The much more physical Ravens were 23-of-
34 from the free-throw line while the Rebels
went to the line just 16 times, making 12.
The officiating ruined a remarkable perfor-
mance by Thibodeaux and the rest of the
Rebels against a team far superior in athleti-
cism and size. The game was a far cry from the
100-61 drubbing the Ravens handed the
Rebels on Jan. 15 in Pasadena.
“We played hard,” Thibodeaux said, “but we
just had a couple of letdowns on offensive
rebounds. That’s not why we lost, though.
Sometimes you just don’t win.”
The Rebels matched the Ravens’ 43 percent
shooting from the field and hit 16-of-36 (44
percent) from the 3-point arc while holding
San Jacinto to 7-of-29 (24 percent) from long
range. Thibodeaux was 6<)f-9 from 3-point
range and finished with 26 points, and Rickey
Huckaby was 13-of-22 from the field, includ-
ing four 3-pointers to lead all scorers with 32
points.
Thibodeaux said the plan was not necessarily
