The MACU men's basketball team defeated Carolina Christian to start off the 2020-21 season.  The Mustangs maintained an eight point lead through most of the second half.  CCC narrowed the lead to two points with about 4:00 remaining.  The Mustangs went on a 14-6 run to finish off the game.

 

Coach Allan Harris had this to say, "We were able to put some things together and learn more about each other.  If we work hard and execute, good things will happen.  Having time off from COVID was tough, but they came through and got the win, so that was exciting."

 

Senior Kevin Fletcher led all scorers with 34 points and also tallied up eight rebounds and three assists.  Senior Leander Williams followed up with 17 points, 5-9 from 3-pt range.  Senior Malik Galloway had a double-double with 13 points and 13 rebounds and led all rebounders.
