The Bluffton College men’s basketball team (6-9, 0-4 HCAC) was defeated by the Transylvania Pioneers 92-63 on Saturday afternoon.

 

Things were rough from the start for the Beavers as they shot only eight field goals in the first half to head into the locker room down, 46-23. Starting the second period Transylvania widened their lead as Bluffton shot only 10-of-27 for the half. Plaguing the Beavers for the game were the 13 three-pointers that were made by Transylvania.

 

Leading Bluffton was senior Brad Boyles (Berne, Ind./South Adams) with 17 points for the game. Freshman Michael Anthony (Ohio City/Delphos St. John’s) finished the double figure scoring with 11 for the afternoon.

 

Bluffton posted 17 turnovers for the day compared to Transy’s nine. Transylvania converted 17 points off of turnovers for the contest. Bluffton did win the battle of the boards by pulling down 38 rebounds to the Pioneer’s 35.

 

The Beavers will be back home at Founders Hall on Wednesday when they face Mount St. Joseph. Tip off is scheduled for 7:30 pm.
