Keegan Shivers’ Big Second Half Propels Tech’s Comeback Victory

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. — The Oregon Tech Hustlin' Owls (7-5, 4-0) used lights-out shooting and a career performance from Keegan Shivers to remain undefeated in conference play. The freshman put the team on his back, scoring 20 second-half points to spur his team on to an 83-69 win over Corban (6-6, 1-3)

Following the victory, HC Justin Parnell said: "Corban is very good. They were down two good players. They play extremely hard and are well-coached. We really competed in the second half and guarded the ball screen really well late in the game. Shivers gave us a huge boost. Kid has some guts."

Looking to continue their hot start to conference play, Tech picked up another big win in comeback fashion on Friday evening.

After a back-and-forth first half, Tech found themselves with a four-point deficit going into the break. 

In the first half, Corban shot 48% from the field and 50% from three, which allowed the Warriors to hold a slim advantage.

In the second half, the Warriors came out strong, ballooning their lead to nine at the 17:46 mark.

However, it was only a matter of time until the Tech offense came alive.

Spurred by Keegan Shivers, Tech shot 72% from the floor and 73% from three in the second half.

At one point, Shivers hit four consecutive threes that left the Corban faithful in utter shock.

Once the Warriors started to deny Shivers the ball, Scotty Burge and Harrison Steiger both knocked down triples to help Tech pull away.

Shivers finished the second half shooting 6-of-8 from behind the arc for 20 points while also leading his side in second-half rebounds with four.

Tech finished with four players in double figures: 

Keegan Shivers: 27 points (career-high) on 9-of-14 shooting and 8 rebounds

Kaison Faust: 11 points on 4-of-4 shooting

Garret Albrecht: 10 points on 3-of-5 shooting

Harrison Steiger: 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting

Corban was led by Kendall Moore, who scored 17 points on 7-of-14 shooting.

Tech will be back in action tomorrow evening when they take on Bushnell (4-7, 2-2) at 5 pm at Danny Miles Court
