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.
A dominant first half on both ends of the floor lifted the Bulldogs to a 79-57 CIT win over Concordia-Ann Arbor on Jan. 24, 2020. Seven Bulldogs put home at least seven points while CUNE limited the Cardinals to 34.5 percent shooting.
The program's longest win streak in 10 years came to a conclusion at the hands of No. 1 Morningside on Wednesday (Jan. 22). Sam Scarpelli and Brevin Sloup combined for 39 points in the 85-72 defeat.
It should be an electric week for the Bulldogs, who are riding a seven-game win streak. CUNE will host No. 1 Morningside prior to heading to the Chicago area for the 69th annual CIT.
Brevin Sloup went wild in the second half while eclipsing 1,000 career points for the red hot Bulldogs. Sloup and fellow senior Tanner Shuck combined for 43 points in spurring an 83-72 win at Briar Cliff on Saturday (Jan. 18).
Following a mid-week bye, the Bulldogs will return to action on Saturday at Briar Cliff with hopes of extending an active six-game win streak. Concordia has not won at Briar Cliff since February 2009.
For the third week in a row, a Bulldog has been named the GPAC Men's Basketball Player of the Week. The latest award goes to Tanner Shuck, who now ranks 13th on the program's all-time scoring list.
The win streak has grown to six for the Bulldogs, who were led by the season high 26 points produced by Tanner Shuck on Saturday (Jan. 11). Concordia shot 52.4 percent from the floor while defeating Jamestown, 86-74.
The vibe is overwhelmingly positive inside the Concordia locker room. The Bulldogs jumped on top of Hastings early and ran away with an 83-62 win over the Broncos on Wednesday (Jan. 8). Five Concordia players reached double figures.
