The 4-0 Bulldogs will return to action on Tuesday versus Midland and end a stretch of nine-straight days without a game. The opening week of GPAC play will also feature a home contest against Briar Cliff.
It got hairy, but the Bulldogs showed toughness by responding with a go-ahead bucket and defensive stop in the final seconds to secure a 66-65 win over No. 9 Benedictine at the Cattle Classic.
The 20th year of the Cattle Classic will see head coach Ben Limback's program take on Dickinson State (N.D.) and Benedictine (Kan.). The Cattle Classic raises food and money for a local food pantry.
The Bulldogs completed a 2-0 opening weekend with a 74-69 win over Friends University on Saturday (Oct. 26). Concordia was led by scoring leaders Tanner Shuck (17), Brevin Sloup (17) and Sammy Adjei (15).

The Concordia men’s basketball program finished eighth in the GPAC last winter and that’s where leagued coaches have pegged it in the conference’s 2019-20 preseason poll. The Bulldogs received 39 points in the poll.
A much more experienced roster took to the practice court this preseason for head coach Ben Limback's program. The firepower of Carter Kent, Brevin Sloup and Tanner Shuck fuels optimism for the Bulldogs.

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.
