Bearcats Getting Outside Boost

After struggling with outside shooting in parts of their last two games the Binghamton Bearcats came alive by going 7-14 beyond the arc in the second half on Thanksgiving night to defeat Long Beach State 72-64.  The two major components in that surge were Dusan Perovic and Yosef Yacob.

On the way to a 21 point performance Perovic hit on four of five three-point shots in the second 20 minutes.  Yacob knocked in two consecutive three's to start the second half and made all three of his shots from beyond the arc.  Yosef ended up with 15 points, his highest output since coming back this season from shoulder surgery that sidelined him all of last year.

BU will need another strong effort from both as well as their teammates as they face the Florida International University Panthers Sunday night at 7:00 PM.  That game can be heard on News Radio 1290 WNBF beginning at 6:45.
