No. 21 Bobcats handle Panthers

Alberto's career night leads Bobcats to 14th consecutive victory

MILWAUKEE - The No. 21-ranked Bobcats ended their five-game home stand with a win over the Olive-Harvey Panthers Saturday evening.

Bryant & Stratton College came out firing, but Olive-Harvey answered the call. Despite being down double-digits a handful of times, the Panthers trailed by four at the break (55-51).

However, the Bobcats regrouped and came out strong in the second half.

"Coach Ruffing does a great job of letting the guys know what the standard is," assistant men's basketball coach Charles Smith said. "Being a player-led team, our guys have to do more of the work on the front end, and sometimes they just fall flat. So [before] the second half, we got those guys together, allowed them to talk and they came up with the solutions for how we [came] out in the second half with more effort, energy and enthusiasm."

The Bobcats' offense exploded, scoring 111 total points and held the Panthers to 28 points in the second half.

Jabi Alberto scored a career-high 31 points. Daniel Sykes scored 17 hitting five three-point shots. Keith Robinson and Malcolm Day wrapped up the Bobcats' offensive output by scoring 14 points each.

Bryant & Stratton's three-point shot was falling early thanks to Sykes, who hit four of his five three-point shots in the first half. The Bobcats shot 46.4% from behind the arc, the third-best production of the season.

The Bobcats are now 21-4, the best start ever through 25 games.

Notable:

  • The Bobcats hit 13 3-point shots, the second-most in a game this season 
  • Back-to-back games shooting 51.7% from the field
  • Coach Ruffing reached win No. 44 

 Up Next: The Bobcats travel to Illinois to take on the South Suburban Bulldogs, who they have never beaten in program history.
