Back-to-back 25-point outings have led to sophomore Carter Kent being named the GPAC Player of the Week. Kent led the Bulldogs to wins last week over No. 19 Northwestern and Dordt.
Red hot in the new year, the Bulldogs carry a four-game win streak into action this week. Concordia will be at Hastings on Wednesday before hosting Jamestown on Saturday. Carter Kent scored a combined 50 points in last week's two wins.
Carter Kent, Tanner Shuck and Brevin Sloup were on point in a 91-79 victory over Dordt on Saturday (Jan. 4). The Bulldogs sizzled by making 10-of-18 attempts from 3-point range during the second half. Concordia has won four in a row.
The Bulldogs are roaring to begin the '20s. They held a double-digit lead for more than 27 minutes of game time on Thursday (Jan. 2) and won going away, 88-65, at No. 19 Northwestern. Carter Kent splashed in 25 points.
A season high 26-point outing in the win over Peru State led to Brevin Sloup being named the GPAC Player of the Week. Sloup drained 7-of-11 attempts from 3-point range as the Bulldogs improved to 9-5.
Conference play makes its return in 2020 as the Bulldogs look to build upon last week's win over Peru State. Concordia will be at Northwestern on Thursday before hosting Dordt on Saturday.
Brevin Sloup poured in 20 of his 26 points after halftime as the Bulldogs throttled Peru State, 109-60, on Saturday (Dec. 28). Concordia improved to 9-5 while playing at home for the first time since Dec. 7.
In another defensive grinder, the Bulldogs did just enough to hold off Menlo in Hawaii on Sunday (Dec. 22). Concordia smothered the Oaks defensively and got a game-winning floater from Brevin Sloup.
A flurry at the end of the first half helped stake Concordia to a 37-23 lead at the break. That advantage melted away as the Bulldogs went cold and fell, 65-60, to MidAmerica Nazarene in Honolulu on Saturday (Dec. 21).
A trip to Honolulu is up next for Bulldog men's basketball, which has not played a game in Hawaii since 2001. While there, Concordia will take on MidAmerica Nazarene and Menlo this Saturday and Sunday.
