Box Score MEMPHIS—The Christian Brothers University Bucs harrassed visiting West Georgia into 19 turnovers and 42 percent shooting as they cruised to a 65-46 win Saturday afternoon in their first game back after a two-week layoff for the holidays.

The Bucs (10-2) scored the game's first eight points and never relinquished the lead, never allowing UWG closer than 11 in the second half.

Nick Kohs (Cincinnati, Ohio/Lakota East HS) scored 22 points as he was 8-of-11 from the field, while Connor Wetzel (Cincinnati, Ohio/Wyoming HS) scored 13 with three steals.  Freshman guard Scott Dennis (Cincinnati, Ohio/Sycamore HS) dominated the game with nine points, 10 rebounds, seven assists, and just one turnover in 35 minutes, while Kyle Couvion (Dayton, Ohio/Centerville HS) and Reggie Peyton (Memphis, Tenn./St. Benedict HS) added eight points each.

John Pringle led the Wolves (3-10) with 21 points and eight rebounds.

The Bucs were out-rebounded 30-27, but they committed just nine turnovers, and the 19 turnovers forced is CBU's second-highest tally of the year.

The Wolves made five of their last seven baskets, raising a shooting percentage that had been in the mid-30's most of the day before the final minutes.  They finished at 42.2 percent (19-of-45), to the Bucs' 42.6 percent (20-of-47).

The Bucs will try to make it five wins in a row Monday night as they welcome Alabama-Huntsville to Canale Arena for their final non-conference game of the season.  Tip-off is set for 7 p.m.
