BREVARD, N.C. - The Brevard College men's basketball team (9-8, 4-4 USA South) got back in the win column in a huge way, racking up several single-game overall NCAA-era and D3-era records to surge past Greensboro (3-15, 2-5 USAS) 106-72 on Wednesday evening at the Boshamer Gymnasium.
Â
Brevard scored an NCAA D3-era record 106 points on a program NCAA-era record 43 made field goals, shooting the ball at a D3-best 65.2% clip while distributing a BC D3 record 28 assists.
Â
BC's 43 made field goals are a new NCAA-era record for the program, surpassing the previous mark of 40 that was set this season in a victory over Warren Wilson (Nov. 16, 2024). Brevard went 43-for-66 for the field to surpass the previous BC D3-era field goal percentage mark of 63.9% set last season at William Peace (Jan. 20, 2024), and the Tornados fell just shy of the program-best mark of 66% vs. Mars Hill (Feb. 11, 2012).
Â
BC MBB, who came into today second in the nation at the NCAA DIII level in field goal percentage, improved that total with its third game of the season eclipsing the 60% mark from the field. Brevard has hit over 50% of its shots in 11 of its 17 games this season.
Â
Brevard's stellar ball movement was on full display on Wednesday, as the Tornados dished out a D3-era record 28 assists, surpassing its previous single-game mark of 25 set last season vs. NC Wesleyan (Jan. 13, 2024). BC came up just short of the program record of 29 assists set vs. Carson Newman (Feb. 18, 2009).
Â
Additionally, the Tornados only committed four turnovers, which is a season-low mark and the lowest for Brevard since committing just three turnovers in a postseason victory at Pfeiffer on February 21, 2023.
Â
Wednesday's win was a total team effort by the Tornados, as all 15 players who touched the floor in the 34-point rout found the scoring column.

KK Horton led four double-figure scoring Tornados with 17 points on 7-of-12 shooting from the field, while also connecting on a team-high three 3-pointers. Horton also contributed with four rebounds and four assists.

Brevard capitalized on its four offensive rebounds, turning them into nine second-chance points.
