Luczynski's big day leads Bears to Sweet 16
COLUMBUS, GA - How sweet it is. Behind a career-high 25 points from Conrad Luczynski and another 20 from Julian Dozier, the Lenoir-Rhyne Men's Basketball team took down USC Aiken 91-87 to advance to the NCAA DII Sweet 16 for just the second time in school history.
Down by two at the half, Lenoir-Rhyne outscored the Pacers 47-41 in the second half to get the victory. Helping their case was a 24-28 showing at the free throw line, their third best mark all season.
The unsung hero of this game was Junior Hodnett, who hit three consecutive triples early in the second half to help keep the Pacers within reach.
