Wow! Huge win against a very high quality team. Looks like CC is peaking at the right time.

Thanks. Agree. Yes this was HUGE win. Especially since we were without 2 starters most of the 4th quarter. Bench really was very important in this win. Coach has put together a very competitive schedule to get the Cards ready for post season. Believe they could be a very dangerous team come post season. I have bolded some impressive stats form the game.

Clark connected on seven shots from the 3-point line, with Malachi Israel and Damion King combining for five treys to pace the Cards. King made 9 of 15 shots from the field and led all scorers with 28 points as four Clark players finished in double figures.
