It was the second meeting between the two schools this year to satisfy their requirements to be in the NCCAA Division II Southwest Region.<\/p>\n<p>The first time around, the Saints were able to sneak out of Haviland with a 96-90 win. This time around, however, the Saints needed no sneakiness. In the opening minutes of the game, the Bears went toe-to-toe with the fourth ranked team in the country, but, thanks to nine first half three pointers, the Saints led by 19 at halftime. Unfortunately, the Saints didn&#8217;t cool down much in the second half, as they connected on another six three pointers to finish 15-29 from that range and easily dispatch the Bears 81-100.<\/p>\n<p>Junior Charles Brodhead (Lompoc, CA) paced the Bears with 30 points on 9-15 shooting and eight rebounds. Senior Tony Graham (Baltimore, MD) contributed 20 points and Freshman Jay Milton (Paris, TX) was one rebound away from his first collegiate double-double with 12 points and nine rebounds.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, the Bears (4-10, 1-1) travel east for two Midwest Christian College Conference games. They take on Calvary Bible College (Belton, MO) on Friday night at 7:00 PM CST and then Ozark Christian College (Joplin, MO) at 3:00 PM CST on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday night, the Bears were coming off an impressive 81-66 win over NCAA Division III University of the Ozarks (Clarksville, AR) when they traveled to Moore, OK to tackle #4 Hillsdale Free Will Baptist College.
