Malachi Scott and his Brock Badgers men's basketball team unleashed a ferocious performance on the road, securing their first regular-season win away from home in emphatic fashion. The Badgers stormed past the Algoma Thunderbirds at the George Leach Centre, claiming an 87-65 victory that showcased their offensive firepower and defensive dominance.
The Badgers, now boasting a 5-3 record in the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) season, were led by Davanté Hackett's 14-point explosion. Jalen Edwards, Anthony Heyes, and Thierry Tshibola also joined the scoring frenzy, each reaching double digits in a display of balanced offensive firepower.
Scott, a key contributor to the Badgers' success, made his presence felt on both ends of the court. In his 13 minutes of action, he showcased his efficiency, going 1-for-2 from the field to contribute 2 points. His impact extended beyond scoring, as he pulled down an impressive 5 rebounds, swatted away a shot with authority, and snatched a steal to disrupt the Thunderbirds' attack.
The Badgers' dominant road victory serves as a statement to the rest of the OUA, signaling their intent to compete for the top spot in the league. With their balanced scoring, tenacious defense, and contributions from players like Scott, the Badgers are poised for a thrilling season.
