Box Score CLEVELAND, Miss.-No. 21 Delta State held the Christian Brothers University Bucs to a season-low 33.9 percent shooting as they topped the Bucs 66-56 to complete the season sweep of the series.

Neither team led by more than six points in a back-and-forth first half, but the Statesmen (21-3, 14-2 GSC) used a 7-2 burst midway through the second half to open a 47-38 lead on a Willie Readus bucket with 9:29 remaining. The Bucs answered with a 10-2 run of their own to pull within 49-48 on a Trey Casey (Cincinnati, Ohio/La Salle HS) three-pointer with 6:03 remaining, but DSU scored the next six points and the Bucs could never come closer than four points again.

Trey Casey (Cincinnati, Ohio/La Salle HS) led the Bucs (13-9, 9-7) with 18 points, and Sidy Sall (Dakar, Senegal/Seeds Academy) scored 12 points with nine rebounds, two blocks and two steals.

Cornell Knight led the Statesmen with 17 points. Readus scored 16 with 13 rebounds, and Devin Schmidt had 14.
