hoops fights for two more victories
Men's hoops clinches UAA title, NCAA berth The men dominated their two games, thumping Brandeis 95-71, then blowing out NYU 77-43 two days later. The wins clinched the University Athletic Association title outright and the NCAA tournament bid that automatically goes to the conference champs. The wins also tied the single-season record of 23. Junior forward Chris Jeffries poured in a career-high 31 points on 9-of-13 shots from the field and 12-of-16 at the free throw line and added seven rebounds against Brandeis. The Bears led 48-34 at the half and didn't let up, opening the second half with a 13-6 run. WU's 19th straight win came at the expense of NYU, as four straight three-pointers -- two by Matt Tabash and two by Jarriot Rook -- gave WU an early 16-3 jump. A 13-0 run to start the second half gave the Bears a comfortable 25-point lead they maintained the rest of the way. Rook finished with a game-high 15 points and five rebounds, Joel Parrott added 14 points and Nick Geurts scored a season-high 12 points.
