Box Score CLEVELAND, Miss.—The No. 8 Christian Brothers University Bucs saw their six-game winning streak end as they were outscored 25-9 over the final 12 minutes of a 66-54 Gulf South Conference defeat at Delta State.

The Bucs (19-4, 8-2 GSC West) led 45-41 with 12:36 remaining, but a 17-0 run put the Statesmen (18-5, 8-2) in front for good, taking a commanding 58-45 lead on a fastbreak layup from Joe McCray with 4:07 remaining.  The Bucs could come no closer than nine points the rest of the way.

The Bucs led most of the first 28 minutes, thanks in large part to Nick Kohs (Cincinnati, Ohio/Lakota East HS), who scored 21 of his game-high 25 points before the decisive run.  The Bucs led by as many as eight points in the first half, as five straight Kohs points gave CBU a 21-13 advantage with 9:25 remaining in the first half.  Kohs added nine rebounds to his 25 points in 37 minutes.

Scott Dennis (Cincinnati, Ohio/Sycamore HS) logged his second straight double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Alton Robinson led the Statesmen with 20 points and nine rebounds.  Chad Akins scored 16, while Joe McCray added 15.

The 12-point loss snaps a remarkable 36-game streak, during which the Bucs went 31-5 with four one-point losses and a two-point loss.  The Bucs' last double-digit loss was by a 79-63 margin when they visited Delta State Jan. 26, 2008.  The Bucs' eight-game road winning streak in GSC West play was also ended.

With the loss, the Bucs fall into a tie with DSU for first place in the GSC West at 8-2.

The Bucs will try to start a new streak Thursday night as they visit Harding at 7:30 p.m.
