Box Score

 Oloruntoba scored eight points – including two of his career-high three 3-pointers – in a decisive 17-0 second-half run that helped the Bullets (5-3, 2-0 CC) win for the fourth time in their last five meetings with the Blue Jays (6-2, 1-1 CC).

 Sophomore David Glaser (West Chester, PA/Malvern Prep) led Gettysburg in scoring for the eighth straight game, finishing with 16 points and seven rebounds. Todd Brady (Hancock, NH/ConVal) also hit double digits with a career-high 15 points while fellow freshman Ryan Page (Silver Spring, MD/St. John’s College) added 12.

 The loss overshadowed an outstanding effort from JHU senior Jay Kreider, who knocked down six 3-pointers to finish with a career-high 26 points. Kreider, who made 9 of the Blue Jays’ 18 field goals on the night, also led the way with six rebounds.

 Facing a Johns Hopkins starting lineup featuring four seniors and one junior, the much-younger Gettysburg starting five of Oloruntoba, Glaser, Brady, Page and sophomore Kyle Jakobe (Baltimore, MD/McDonogh/Peddie [NJ]) played all but 21 of a possible 200 minutes, accounting for 67 of the Bullets’ 70 points while shooting 56 percent from the floor on the night.

 After watching the Blue Jays take exactly 2 minutes, 30 seconds to erase a nine-point deficit and go ahead 43-40 with 9:26 left, Gettysburg responded with 17 unanswered points to seal the victory.

 Oloruntoba touched off the decisive run by drilling a three from the top of the key at the 8:33 mark to tie the game at 43. Oloruntoba then converted 2 of 3 free throws to put the Bullets ahead to stay and Brady followed with a slashing layup and two free throws to make it 49-43.

 Glaser stuck his lone 3-pointer of the night and Oloruntoba followed two empty JHU possessions with another trey to make it 55-43. Glaser knocked down two more free throws before Steve Adams ended the run with a 3-point to pull the Blue Jays within 57-46 with 3:23 remaining.

 Two Kreider free throws cut the Gettysburg lead to 11 with 3:06 left, but Johns Hopkins would get no closer down the stretch. Glaser punctuated the win with a steal-and-breakaway dunk in the final two minutes.

 Gettysburg appeared to have the game in hand much earlier in the second half, before the Blue Jays rallied to go ahead.

 Three-pointers from Brady and Page helped the Bullets increase a one-point lead to nine with 13:32 to play.

 Down 40-31, JHU withstood three empty Gettysburg possessions before Kreider ripped three 3-pointers in a 12-0 run to put his squad on top 43-40.

 The teams battled through eight first-half lead changes before Jakobe’s 3-pointer with four seconds left gave the Bullets a 24-22 lead at the break.

 Gettysburg hit 14 of 20 shots (70 percent) in the second half and also helped its cause by committing a season-low 11 turnovers. The Bullets’ 17-point margin of victory was their largest in 19 all-time Centennial Conference meetings with Johns Hopkins.

 Jakobe finished with nine points and six rebounds.

 Gettysburg returns to action on Saturday at Division I Navy. Game time is 7:30 p.m.
