Box Score RUSSELLVILLE, Ark.—The Christian Brothers University Bucs entered Saturday night's game at No. 1 Arkansas Tech with a simple postseason scenario.  Beat the nation's top-ranked team on their home floor on Senior Night and advance to the Gulf South Conference Tournament or else the season ends Saturday night.

For 25 minutes, the Bucs (17-10, 7-7 GSC West) appeared up to the task, but the Wonder Boys (26-1, 13-1) seized control with a 13-0 run that flipped a 32-28 CBU lead with 17 minutes remaining to a 41-32 ATU edge with 13:44 to go.  The Bucs could never cut the lead under six points again.

Four Bucs scored in double figures, led by 13 from Zack Warner (St. Louis, Mo./Clayton HS).  Scott Dennis (Cincinnati, Ohio/Sycamore HS) ended his stellar sophomore season with 12 points and 10 rebounds, his 13th double-double.  Alex Rogers (Cincinnati, Ohio/Oak Hills HS) added 10  with three assists.

Kyle Couvion (Dayton, Ohio/Centerville HS) scored 11 with five assists and no turnovers in 40 minutes.  He finished his career with no turnovers in his final 79 minutes on the court for CBU.  He ends his career as CBU's all-time leader in wins (85), steals (193), and minutes (4,037).  He ranks third in assists (456), eighth in three-pointers made (145), and ninth in games played (119).  With nine assists and no turnovers in his final two games, he is likely to finish in the top 10 in the nation in assist-to-turnover ratio for the second time.  He led the nation in the category as a sophomore.

Jeremy Dunbar led the Wonder Boys with 21 points.  Brandon Friedel scored 12, while Marcus Pillow added 10.

The Bucs' achilles heel Saturday night was turnovers, as they coughed it up 21 times for 18 ATU points.  CBU out-rebounded ATU 31-26.
