It was a grind, but the Bulldogs did just enough to turn away Concordia Ann Arbor, 80-75, on Friday (Jan. 26) at the 2024 CIT. Hayden Frank topped CUNE with 17 points and Tristan Smith supplied 16 points and 16 rebonds.

In the wake of an upcoming Concordia Invitational Tournament (CIT), the Bulldogs started their week with a conference foe square-off against Mount Marty. Concordia kept their eyes focused on the opponent in front of them and annihilated the Lancers on both ends of the floor, for a 92-63 triumph.

Coming off a heartbreaker on the road, the Bulldogs looked to find their groove against a familiar conference foe on Saturday. With fans dressed in white at Friedrich Arena, Concordia bolted on a 22-1 run, behind four Zac Kulus treys, to set up an 87-82 win over Briar Cliff.

In a Bulldog-Bronco white-knuckler in Hastings, a free throw with 3.1 seconds left supplied the deciding point as the Broncos won a heart thumper, 79-78. Concordia rallied back from 17 points down to tie in the second half before falling.

The Bulldogs hope to bottle up the offensive efficiency they displayed in the 106-69 rout of Doane last week as they prep for matchups with Hastings and Briar Cliff. Concordia ranks 13th nationally in scoring average.

Concordia's home men’s and women’s basketball scheduled for Saturday (Jan. 13) versus Dordt has been postponed. The makeup date will be February 5, 2024.

Brad Bennett drained six 3-point field goals in the first half alone while leading Concordia to a trouncing of Doane, 106-69, inside Friedrich Arena on Wednesday (Jan. 10). The Bulldogs shot 60.3 percent as a team.

A three-game homestand continues this week for the Bulldogs, who are fresh off a 92-71 victory over Dakota Wesleyan. Doane and Dordt will make visits to Friedrich Arena as GPAC play continues.
