Bench Production Leads Cougars to Crosstown Rivalry Win

CHARLESTON, S.C. – The College of Charleston won their 12th consecutive game against crosstown rival The Citadel on Thursday night in TD Arena 86-71.

After a back-and-forth start, the Cougars found their rhythm going 4-for-5 from the field highlighted by an alley-oop from CJ Fulton to James Scott.

The Cougars maintained their style of play, going on an 11-0 run while the Bulldogs struggled from the field going over four minutes without a field goal. An Ante Brzovic three with just under eight minutes ignited the sold-out TD Arena crowd.

The Cougars entered the locker room up 44-32 following two identical sequences of James Scott blocks leading to Reyne Smith threes. Scott totaled three blocks in under a minute.

Scott set a new career-high of eight points out of the locker room with yet another dunk of a pass from Fulton. He would finish with 14 on the night, 12 of which came from dunks.

Frankie Policelli scored his 1,000th career point on a three-pointer with eight minutes to play. Policelli found his rhythm, scoring back-to-back buckets after his 1,000 tally to help the Cougars break away to take an 18-point lead at 72-56 and never look back.

KEY COUGARS
  • Policelli led the Cougars with 15 points while grabbing six rebounds, four of which came on the offensive end of the glass.
  • Scott added 14 points and was perfect from the field. Ben Burnham (13), Smith (11) and Brzovic joined Scott and Policelli in double-digits.
  • Brzovic was one rebound away from a double-double.
  • Fulton posted a season-high eight assists while only totaling one turnover.
