A dominant first half on both ends of the floor lifted the Bulldogs to a 79-57 CIT win over Concordia-Ann Arbor on Jan. 24, 2020. Seven Bulldogs put home at least seven points while CUNE limited the Cardinals to 34.5 percent shooting.
The program's longest win streak in 10 years came to a conclusion at the hands of No. 1 Morningside on Wednesday (Jan. 22). Sam Scarpelli and Brevin Sloup combined for 39 points in the 85-72 defeat.
It should be an electric week for the Bulldogs, who are riding a seven-game win streak. CUNE will host No. 1 Morningside prior to heading to the Chicago area for the 69th annual CIT.
Brevin Sloup went wild in the second half while eclipsing 1,000 career points for the red hot Bulldogs. Sloup and fellow senior Tanner Shuck combined for 43 points in spurring an 83-72 win at Briar Cliff on Saturday (Jan. 18).
Following a mid-week bye, the Bulldogs will return to action on Saturday at Briar Cliff with hopes of extending an active six-game win streak. Concordia has not won at Briar Cliff since February 2009.
For the third week in a row, a Bulldog has been named the GPAC Men's Basketball Player of the Week. The latest award goes to Tanner Shuck, who now ranks 13th on the program's all-time scoring list.
The win streak has grown to six for the Bulldogs, who were led by the season high 26 points produced by Tanner Shuck on Saturday (Jan. 11). Concordia shot 52.4 percent from the floor while defeating Jamestown, 86-74.
The vibe is overwhelmingly positive inside the Concordia locker room. The Bulldogs jumped on top of Hastings early and ran away with an 83-62 win over the Broncos on Wednesday (Jan. 8). Five Concordia players reached double figures.
Back-to-back 25-point outings have led to sophomore Carter Kent being named the GPAC Player of the Week. Kent led the Bulldogs to wins last week over No. 19 Northwestern and Dordt.
Concordia Men's Basketball enters 2021-22 feeling like it "left some meat on the bone" last season when the program missed out on the national tournament. The Bulldogs return their top seven scorers, including three All-GPAC honorees.
Gage Smith made an head-turning transformation from sophomore to junior season while becoming an all-conference player. Even better things could be in store in 2021-22 for Gage, who now has his brother alongside him.
The memories remain vivid for brothers Darin and Derek Engelbart, both 1,000-point scorers for Concordia Men's Basketball. The bond over No. 22 symbolizes their relationship as brothers.
Highlights from the 2020-21 Concordia Men's Basketball season included a dominant run at home, a sweep of Northwestern and All-GPAC performances from Carter Kent, Gage Smith and Justin Wiersema.
Justin Wiersema is the guy who catches every coach’s attention. It’s not simply because he’s good – it’s also because his motor never stops and his energy level never slips.
Thought picked sixth in the GPAC preseason poll, the Bulldogs like what they have with a backcourt that features Carter Kent and Justin Wiersema. Concordia is coming off a 2020 GPAC tournament title.
Carter Kent finds team success to be "addicting." The Crete High School product plans to take on more a leadership role this coming season as he progresses through a unique offseason.
Originally from Scotia, Neb., Glen Snodgrass arrived for classes at Concordia University in the fall of 1994. He starred on the hardwood and gridiron before becoming a state championship coach.
Let's answer the question: who wore it better? We ran down the top Bulldog men's basketball performers at each jersey number during the 20 seasons of GPAC hoops.
As head coach Grant Schmidt put it, "when they strapped on their shoes, they didn't lose." The 2004-05 squad reached the national title game and stands out as one of the most competitive and fiery in school history.
