Bucs Hold Off Trojans 72-64

NASHVILLE, Tenn.-Three freshmen combined for 44 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Christian Brothers University Bucs to a 72-64 win at Trevecca Nazarene Saturday afternoon.

HOW IT HAPPENED:
• After a back-and-forth start to the game, the Trojans (2-6) used a 13-0 run to open a 25-17 lead on a Jacob Williams triple with 7:48 remaining in the first half.
• CBU (4-2) stormed back with an 11-2 run to take a 28-27 edge on an Alex Trentman (Alexandria, Ky./Bishop Brossart HS) three-pointer with 3:08 remaining in the half, and the Bucs would never trail by more than three points again.
• The Bucs took the lead back on their first basket of the second half, when a Brad Miller (Cincinnati, Ohio/Elder HS) layup sparked what became a 13-5 run, capped by back-to-back Adam Dieball (Cincinnati, Ohio/Lakota East HS) buckets that gave CBU a 47-40 lead with 14:38 remaining.
• After a 9-2 Trojans run knotted the game at 49 on a Devin Whitfield three-pointer with 10:32 to play, back-to-back three-pointers by Joe Laravie (Kettering, Ohio/Alter HS) and Brad Miller (Cincinnati, Ohio/Elder HS) sparked a 16-6 run that gave CBU a 65-55 lead on a Mitch Mays (Cincinnati, Ohio/Lakota East HS) layup with 3:12 remaining, and the Trojans never came closer than six in the final minutes.
