A 50-point week in road wins over Midland and Jamestown led to senior Brevin Sloup being named the GPAC Player of the Week. Sloup has earned the honor twice this season.
For the first time since 2011, Concordia men's basketball will host a GPAC postseason game. Northwestern will be on hand for Wednesday's quarterfinal clash inside Walz Arena.
Faced with an 18-point deficit in the second half, the Bulldogs elevated their game and rallied for a memorable overtime win at Jamestown. Brevin Sloup scored 28 points in leading the 101-92 victory.
Standouts in the classroom and on the court, senior Tanner Shuck and sophomore Carter Kent have been named to the 2020 Academic All-District® Men's Basketball Teams by CoSIDA.
Facing a late 79-73 deficit, the Bulldogs used a 12-0 run to pull out a win at Midland, 89-83, on Wednesday (Feb. 19). Four Concordia players had 14 or more points in holding off the Warriors.
The final week of the regular season comes with the opportunity for Concordia to earn a top-four finish in the GPAC standings. The Bulldogs will be on the road for games at Midland and Jamestown.
Led by seniors Brevin Sloup and Tanner Shuck, the Bulldogs avenged their most lopsided loss this season by pummeling No. 18 Mount Marty, 98-74, on Saturday (Feb. 15). Sloup poured in a game high 29 points.
A three-game skid came to an end while the lengthy series win streak over Hastings continued. An elevated second half defensive performance and clutch play for Brevin Sloup keyed an 83-77 win.
The final two regular-season home games will both take place this week for the Bulldogs, who are happy to be back at Walz after three in a row on the road. The senior class will be recognized on Saturday.
The result may not have been what the Bulldogs had hoped for, but it’s play on the court was vastly improved from its previous two road outings. Gage Smith netted five treys in the loss at Dordt.
According to Coach Grant Schmidt, the 1991-92 men's basketball team "created an environment at Concordia that we had never seen before." The Bulldogs surprised many by storming to the national semifinals.
Jason Jisa's journey has taken him to many incredible places: the 2002 BCS National Championship game, the 2005 NAIA Division II national title tilt and this September, the Concordia Athletic Hall of Fame.
We try to answer the question: what are the greatest moments in the history of the Concordia men's basketball program? This is the second in our 'top five' series. Relive the glory years presided over by Grant Schmidt.
The 2016-17 Concordia men's basketball team set a new school standard for scoring behind All-American Chandler Folkerts and sharpshooter Eli Ziegler. The team's 21 wins were the most for the program since 2004-05.
Nearing the end of his Concordia career, Chandler Folkerts will be remembered as more than just a basketball player. Says President Brian Friedrich of Folkerts, "He is the young man every parent wants as a son."
Over his four-year Bulldog career, Littleton, Colorado, native Eli Ziegler has gone from role player to star. Born and bred to play hoops, Concordia's sharpshooting senior is the ringleader for a squad that leads the nation in 3-point shooting.
Powered by Chandler Folkerts, Concordia men's basketball enters 2016-17 with an optimistic outlook despite being picked to finish eighth in the GPAC by league coaches.
Surely it would take an act of God for someone to go from Sydney, Australia, to Honolulu, Hawaii, to Seward, Neb. That’s exactly what happened in regards to Chris Johnstone.
An 18-12 overall record marked another improvement for head coach Ben Limback's men's basketball program in 2015-16. The Bulldogs were led again by first team all-conference big man Chandler Folkerts.
Currently the third-highest scoring team in program history (in terms of scoring average), the Bulldogs have won seven of eight games. They rate as one of the nation's most efficient offensive teams.
