Cougars Make 17 Threes to Return to the Win Column

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – The College of Charleston men's basketball team snapped three-game skid behind 17 three-pointer in a 80-72 win over Coastal Carolina to close out the Myrtle Beach Invitational.

Ante Brzovic scored the Cougars' first eight points of the afternoon on back-to-back threes and a jumper in the paint to take an early 8-4 edge.

Charleston took their largest of the half at 36-28 with just over two minutes until the half. An offensive surge from Coastal Carolina closed the gap as Charleston held a one-point 36-35 edge entering the locker room.

The Cougars made eight threes in the first half, topping their season-high before the frame was over. Reyne Smith led Charleston with 11 points at the break including three from deep.

The Chanticleers went on a 9-0 run to open the second half until another Smith three brought the Cougars back within four at 44-40. Three-straight triples from Smith, Brzovic and Frankie Policelli helped swing the momentum back in favor of the Cougars with a Mayar Wol dagger tied the contest at 57-57.

Bryce Butler worked through the Chanticleer's defense to give Charleston their first lead since the half at 59-57. The teams traded points until 13-0 run for the Cougars sparked by three consecutive Policelli triples and an emphatic dunk by James Scott gave Charleston a ten-point lead to ride to a 80-72 victory.
