Erik Holth, CBC Sports Information Director

            St. Louis, Mo. – Opening the American Midwest Conference portion of their schedule on the road, Central Baptist College men's basketball took on the Eutectics of the University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis tonight inside the UHSP Gymnasium. CBC (4-2, 1-0 AMC) led for over 36 minutes and dominated in every aspect of the game, cruising to an 87-65 win over UHSP (0-4, 0-1 AMC).

            Brevin Brimble led three Mustangs in double figures scoring while Tomas Mikyska barely missed out on a double-double. The keys to victory for CBC were rebounding and turnover margins, both of which the Mustangs capitalized on.
