#MustangsWin! CBC Takes Care of Business Against UHSP!

Erik Holth, CBC Sports Information Director

            Conway, Ark. – Looking to begin American Midwest Conference play 3-0, Central Baptist College men's basketball hosted the Eutectics of the University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis this afternoon at A.R. Reddin Fieldhouse. CBC (7-8, 3-0 AMC) never trailed, cruising to an 82-45 win over UHSP (5-9, 1-3 AMC).

            Kelvin Robinson led three Mustangs in double figures scoring while three Mustangs also had 10 or more rebounds. CBC won in every phase of the game, including turnovers, forcing 17 while only committing 12.

GAME FLOW

            Robinson opened the scoring with a three-point basket 24 seconds into the contest. The Mustangs would race out to a 10-2 lead over the first 4:38 before UHSP cut the lead to 10-6 with back-to-back buckets. The lead would balloon to 22-10 with 7:18 left before the Eutectics cut it to 22-19 with 4:21 to play in the half. Following a timeout, a three from Hayden Peterson started a 17-2 run for the rest of the half and the Mustangs went into the locker room ahead 39-21. That was as close as the Eutectics would get again, as CBC would lead by as many as 40 in the second half before ending up at the final margin.

• Robinson finished with a game-high 22 points on 9-18 from the field
