THE RUNDOWN
The DBU Men's basketball team knocked off St. Mary's University by a score of 91-66 Thursday night in San Antonio, Texas. The 25-point victory snaps the program's two game losing streak as the Patriots prepare for a pivotal clash against the division-leading St. Edward's University on Saturday afternoon.

Chandler Jacobs did a little bit of everything for DBU, registering  game-high marks of 16 points and 9 rebounds along with four assists. Conner Lidiak and Tylan Dean returned to form by draining a combined seven treys on 11 attempts for 26 points.
