CSU Bakersfield kept their undefeated streak alive on Sunday, knocking off North Dakota State 73-69. The Roadrunners, now sitting pretty at a perfect 4-0, got a monster performance from Kjay Bradley Jr., who dropped 22 points to lead his squad.
Roadrunners’ Offense Rolls On
Bradley Jr. was absolutely cooking out there, sinking 8 of 15 from the field, including a couple of big three-pointers on five attempts. He was clutch from the charity stripe too, going a perfect 4 for 4. But it wasn’t a one-man show. Tom Koppens chipped in with an incredibly efficient 14 points, hitting 6 of 8 shots from the floor and drilling 2 of 3 from downtown. Chudi Dioramma also had a strong outing, adding 12 points on 5 of 7 shooting from the field. That kind of balanced attack is exactly what you want to see from a squad that’s trying to maintain a perfect record.
Bison Battle Hard, Fall Short
North Dakota State, now 2-4 on the season, definitely gave it their all. Rob Diaz III led the charge for the Bison, putting up 16 points, grabbing nine rebounds, and snagging three steals. Talk about stuffing the stat sheet! Riley Massey added 15 points and two steals, showing some hustle on both ends of the court. And Melvin Bell Jr. wasn’t far behind with 13 points and two steals of his own. They fought hard, but in the end, Bakersfield just had too much firepower.
CSU Bakersfield hits the road next, heading to face Idaho on Friday. North Dakota State is also on the road, visiting Colorado State on Wednesday.
