Hood College men\u2019s basketball won the second round of the NCAA tournament game Saturday, beating No. 9 University of Redlands, 114-104, to advance to the Sweet 16. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blazers started off strong and led 56-53 at halftime. Junior guard Jevon Yarbrough helped the Blazers’ first-half success by tallying 19 points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early foul trouble in the second half forced the Blazers to transition to a smaller lineup after graduate student Garrett Cox and sophomore Jake Bolyn fouled out of the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This didn\u2019t stop the Blazers’ offensive success as Hood never gave up the lead in the second half, fighting off a Redlands’ scoring push that brought the Bulldogs to within one, before the Blazers pulled away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yarbrough led the Blazers with 42 points on 61% shooting. Kullen Robinson scored 24 on 56% shooting and grabbed 12 rebounds. Jude Huseby had 11 rebounds. Bolyn came off the bench hot, making all four shots and scored 10 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blazers’ bench outscored the Bulldogs’ bench 19-18. Hood also outshot the Bulldogs 52% to 36%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blazers will take on No. 1 Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, next weekend. “We’re excited,” Yarbrough said. “I think everybody has all really bought into this year.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been talking about getting in the national picture, making a name for ourselves, and we\u2019re trying to get a program that could at least have the potential to win a national championship,\u201d coach Chad Dickman said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
