Panthers Earn a Conference Sweep Over the Weekend

The Birmingham Southern basketball team defeated both Hendrix and Milsaps this past weekend.  With the victories, the Panthers maintained their place atop the SCAC standings. 

In the first game, versus Hendrix on Friday, the Panthers won 75-68.  The game was close throughout, and the Panthers won with pressure defense, and a strong finish to the game. 

The second game was a great defensive effort by the Panthers, as they held Milsaps to 32% from the field for the entire game.  The Panthers went on to win the game 64-41.

It was a great weekend for BCS Basketball, as the 1990 National Champioship team was honored with a dinner, and a halftime ceremony at Sundays game.

The Panthers will return to action next weekend with another swing through Texas, as they play Trinity and Southwestern.

Tonights game will be a fundraiser entitled "Blackout Cancer"- in an effort to raise awareness the Panthers team helped to serve lunch in the BSC caf- as you will see a fun time was had by all.

PANTHERS SPLIT ROAD TRIP OUT WEST

The Men's Basketball team had a great trip out west as we faced Colorado College and Austin College, two teams that sit atop the SCAC West Division. The team fought hard and produced a great win at Colorado College on Friday night 70-65. The Panthers had a chance to pull out the sweep in Texas in the final minute of the game at Austin College but came up short. Despite poor shooting, the team was resiliant enough to show strong defensive efforts and keep a hold on first place in the Eastern Division. Stay tuned for some pictures of the teams trip to Garden of the Gods and the Air Force academy in the coming days!

The Panthers' Offensive Explosion leads them to Victory

The Panthers went to Memphis with the purpose of a little fun on Bealle Street and a lot more fun on the court at Rhodes College.
The team had a great trip to watch the Memphis Grizzlies play on Friday night, then hit the court for a game with Rhodes on Saturday.
The Panthers and the Rhodes Lynxx played a tight game up until the 4 minute mark left in the first half. From that point until roughly ten minutes left in the second half, the Panthers held Rhodes to 12 points, while in that same time frame scored 48 points.
The offensive explosion was highlighted by strong defensive pressure, and a barrage of three pointers from several players.
The Panthers shot an astounding 18-32 from the 3 pt line and dished out 30 assists on the night showing a tremendous amount of unselfishness and teamwork!
BSC returns to action with a home game tonight vs. Atlanta Christian at 7 pm. This game will be followed by a trip to Colorado College on Friday Jan 15th and Austin College in Sherman, Texas on Sunday the 17th.
We are currently 11-1 and tied atop the SCAC with Colorado College, so this will be a big weekend for the Panthers.
