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.
For the second-straight outing, the Bulldogs were held below 60 points in a GPAC defeat. Justin Wiersema (17 points, 12 rebounds) recorded his first career double-double despite the 64-59 loss at Doane.
In the mix near the top of the jumbled GPAC standings, the Bulldogs hope to get back in the win column as they make trips to Doane and Dordt this week. Concordia has won 10 of its last 12 games.
In action Saturday (Feb. 1) at the Corn Palace, the Bulldogs did not look like the team that had won 10 of its last 11 games. Concordia shot only 28.3 percent from the floor and suffered a 71-50 road loss.
Concordia led by as many as 24 points, only to have that lead dwindle to two in the final minute on Wednesday (Jan. 29). However, Tanner Shuck (23 points) and the Bulldogs held on for an 86-82 win over Northwestern.
Fresh off a CIT championship, Tanner Shuck and the Bulldogs now enter the stretch run of conference play. They will be up against Northwestern and 10th-ranked Dakota Wesleyan this week.
The Bulldogs would not be denied this time. Behind MVP Tanner Shuck, the Bulldogs rolled to a 92-55 CIT championship game victory over Concordia-Wisconsin. CUNE won its 28th all-time CIT title.
