Mustangs Drop Hard Fought Contest With Saints of OLLU

            Conway, Ark. – Looking for their first win of the season, Central Baptist College men's basketball hosted the Saints of Our Lady of the Lake this evening at Reddin Fieldhouse. CBC (0-3) was plagued by second half turnovers and blew a seven-point halftime lead in a loss to OLLU (3-0).

            Mayan Kiir had a big night with 24 points and 20 rebounds to lead the Mustangs in both categories. Kiir's 20 rebound game was just the third time in program history that a Mustang has recorded 20 or more rebounds in a game and the first since Victor Dukes @ Harris-Stowe State on Jan. 15, 2019. CBC shot 53 percent from the field and 40 percent from three and won the rebounding battle 47-36, but turned the ball over 23 times, including 16 in the second half, leading to 28 OLLU points.

            The Mustangs will take on in-state school John Brown in their next game. Tipoff for the game against the Golden Eagles is slated for 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday night and live coverage can be found if you like and follow @gocbcmustangs on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
