Bellevue College men’s basketball poured in 63 points in the second half for a comeback win on the road at Edmonds, winning 97-82. The Bulldogs and Tritons were in a back and forth battle for much of the first half before Edmonds’ Kyrylo Kapinos nailed back-to-back three pointers to give Edmonds a 39-34 lead, putting the Edmonds fans in a frenzy, with a possible snap of Bellevue’s NWAC-leading 20 game win streak on the horizon. Edmonds was able to stretch the lead to nine at 43-34 as the Bulldogs went scoreless over the final three minutes of the half. The ‘dogs couldn’t cash in from the perimeter or the foul line as the Tritons made a turnaround from their first meeting, outrebounding BC 20-14 in the half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second half belonged to Bellevue as the ‘dogs regained their touch with perimeter play as Sawyer Cottrell, Josiah Johnson and Max Mayo drained seven three pointers and controlled underneath with an 18-9 flip in rebounding advantage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cottrell was a perfect four for four from three point land while Johnson was six of seven from the field. Mayo did most of his damage to the Tritons with a perfect eight of eight from the line. Mayo scored five points on consecutive possessions to pull BC to within three at 50-47 with 15:14 to go. Cottrell then threw in back to back three balls at 13:02 to give BC the lead 59-56. Mayo sank four free throws with a minute remaining to balloon Bellevue’s lead to 97-80 in one of the biggest comebacks all season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson led the Bulldogs with 23 points and five rebounds. Mayo had 18 with five rebounds as well along with Cottrell and Will Woodward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top-ranked Bulldogs are now 8-0 in North Region play and 21-2 overall. They host Everett this Sat. Feb. 7 at 2 P.M. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
