ASU men close Dominican Republic tour with win

— Mitchell Gladstone

Arkansas State needed overtime, but the Red Wolves wrapped up their time in the Caribbean with a victory, edging the Dominican Republic U-22 team 86-78 in Puerto Plata, on Wednesday afternoon.

Malcolm Farrington hit five three-pointers en route to a game-high 18 points, and four other ASU players — Caleb Fields, Markise Davis, Mak Manciel and Omar El-Sheikh — joined him in double figures.

“We executed down the stretch,” Coach Mike Balado said. “We finished the game with eight straight stops on defense, and that opened up the game. Mak Manciel had the best game he’s had yet. … Really happy with our ballclub.”

For the trip, El-Sheikh led the Red Wolves in points and rebounding with 16.7 and 9.0, respectively. Farrington shot 14 of 26 on three-pointers, good for a 53.8% clip as ASU went 2-1 during its three exhibitions.
