DES MOINES - Marcus Paige with a stepback jumper from about 15 feet put Linn-Mar up, 49-47, with 1:05 to go. Senior missed an inside shot, with the rebounding deflecting out of bounds off Senior's Connor Grant.
39.8 left. After a timeout, Linn-Mar's Matt Lassen is fouled but misses the one-and-one free throw. Senior rebounds, walks the ball to the front court and calls timeout with 30.0 left.
Josh Weeber with cold-blooded 3-pointer from top of circle puts Senior up with 14 seconds left, 50-49. Linn-Mar does not call timeout, Paige takes inbounds and eventually fires pass to wide-open Andy Henry for layup that gives Linn-Mar a 51-50 lead with 5.0 seconds left.
After timeout, Senior's Kyle Haber dribbles length of floor on left side, but his runner from about 12 feet goes around and off the rim at buzzer.
