Box Score
Watch: Postgame Interview with BMCC Head Coach Tommy Guerin

Bronx, New York | The BMCC men's basketball team cruised to a 77-55 road victory against ASA College JV on Wednesday night at Gaucho gym in the Bronx. The Panthers have won back-to-back contests improving to 2-1 on the season, while the Avengers fall to 0-3.

BMCC had three players score in double-figures, with two of them reaching the 20-point plateau on the night, led by sophomore guard Terrance McBride's (Brooklyn, New York) team-high 23 points on 7-of-14 shooting. McBride also dished out a team-best six assists, while snatching four steals and going a perfect 6-for-6 from the line, both team-bests. Freshman shooting guard Elvys Ceballos (New York City, New York) put up a season-high 20 points on the night--including 13 of them in the first half--while grabbing nine boards, tying a game-high. Classmate Shakeem Reid (Brooklyn, New York) chipped in with 10 points on the evening, while fellow underclassmen Malik Bentinck (Queens, New York) swatted a game and season-high five blocks to go along with nine rebounds, tying a team-best. 

BMCC jumped out to a 7-2 lead three minutes into the first half, before ASA capped off a 6-0 run with a Mohamad Bocoum three-pointer at the 15:56 mark to take an 8-7 lead. The Panthers would outscore the Avengers 22-9 over the next 9:34 to build a 14-point lead, 30-16, their largest of the first half, and carried that momentum into halftime to lead 34-23. 

The Panthers imposed their will eight and half minutes into the second half, outscoring the Avengers 27-12 during that time to build their lead to 26-points, the largest of the night, 59-34. ASA would get the deficit down to as much as 17 twice, on a jumper at 8:16 to get it down to 61-44 and on a free-throw at 5:50 to make 65-48. BMCC would take it from there down the stretch for a 77-55 victory.  

The Avengers had three players in double-figures, as Kimani McIntosh led all scorers with 12 points and handed out a team-high three assists. Ben Smith knocked down 11 points and hauled down nine boards to tie a game-high, while Spencer Saxon chipped in with 11 points of his own. 

Notables: 

  • BMCC has won their first two road contests of the season. The Panthers won their first four of the last year's 2018-2019 campaign. 
  • Terrance McBride (Brooklyn, New York) has scored at least 20 points in a game for the third game in a row and third time this season.
