After the win from the women, the men’s team faced off against Belmont in a game with two very one-sided halves.

Belmont finished the first half with more turnovers than made field goals, nine turnovers and eight made field goals. The second half felt like an entirely different game with Belmont coming out strong, clawing back points until taking the lead and relentlessly scoring till the final buzzer. After outscoring the Bruins in the first half, they then outscored the Racers in the second half 63-31.
Final score:
Bruins – 87
