The #25th-ranked Bulldogs would come into tonight's game knowing it would not be easy against the former GCAC foe Rams, but they were up for challenge in trying to extend their win streak to five straight.
Early in the first half, the Bulldogs would take the lead over the Rams with a pair a three pointers by Juan Gray and Kadon Day. The Bulldogs would continue to pour it on the Rams from downtown, as they would shoot 47% from behind the arc in the first half, taking a commanding 36-22 halftime lead over the Rams.
In the second half, the Bulldogs would continue to play good basketball, but late in the half the Rams would fight their way back within 3 points of the Bulldogs, forcing the Bulldogs would regroup its defense to try and hold off a scare by the Rams. Coach Stribling would do just that, regrouping its defense to hold off the Rams offense and escape the scare by the Rams and take the victory.
The Bulldogs were led by Kadon Day, who finished with 17 points. Horace Whitehead chipped in 14 points, Marquise Mems tacked in 11 points, and Juan Gray added 10 points. Whitehead also finished the night with 4 blocks, as he leads the conference in blocks.The Bulldogs will be back in action on Monday, January 23, 2012 as they host #19 Xavier University in a Top 25 showdown. Tip-off is set for 7:30 P.M.
