Men's Basketball's Win Breaks Records for the Bearcats

ST. LOUIS, MO – The Brescia University men's basketball team had a record-breaking night in their win over UHSP. The Bearcats start out their regular season 1-0 after a three-exhibition game stretch.

Four Bearcats reached double-figure points in the offensive dominance over the Eutectics of UHSP. This matchup started out neck-and-neck as both teams traded shots for the lead. Ksuan Casey would start his historic night with his first layup in the paint for the and-one at the 14:40 mark. With the three-point lead, Taeron Hogg and Casey would add on to it with back-to-back layups. At the end of the first half, the Bearcats would lead the Eutectics 55-46 as UHSP attempted to cut the BU lead.

At the start of the second half, the Eutectics showed life as they got within just three of the Bearcat lead. Casey would score the next six points for BU as his teammates fed him the ball. A missed three-pointer by UHSP would lead to another Casey layup as he gets fouled for the extra point giving the Bearcats a 11-point lead. The Brescia defense kept the UHSP shooters from scoring for three straight minutes as they continued to stretch the lead further from the Eutectics.

The Bearcats would take the win, 130-90, which is the teams' largest victory margin and points scored in a single game since the 2016-17 season. Ksuan Casey breaks the single game scoring record by 14 with 52 points. Casey also records a double-double with 10 rebounds as Hogg follows behind with 25 points and nine rebounds.
