Sun - 23 Feb Written by Metro Sports Report

MASON CITY - The Kirkwood men's basketball team is one victory away from clinching the No. 1 seed for the regional tournament later this month.

The 11th-ranked Eagles topped 13th-ranked NIACC, 97-84, Saturday in an ICCAC conference showdown in Mason City as Devonte Thedford, DJ Purnell, Luke Appel and Seybian Sims combined for 81 points.

Kirkwood remained tied for the conference lead with ninth-ranked DMACC with 11-2 records with one game left in the regular season. If the Eagles defeat Iowa Central at home next Saturday, they'll clinch the top seed for the regional tournament because they own the tiebreaker over DMACC.

Thedford scored 24 points, Purnell netted 22, Appel contributed 19 and Sims added 16 to lead the attack Saturday. Appel grabbed 13 rebounds for a double-double and Purnell snared nine caroms. Thedford shot 12-for-12 at the foul line and Purnell was 8-for-8.
