Bellevue College men’s basketball lost 81-62 to host Edmonds in a game that was defined by cold shooting from the perimeter all night long by the Bulldogs. Bellevue took 48 of their 76 field shot attempts from beyond the three-point arc but converted only six-for-48; good for only 13% as the Tritons used it to coast to victory.
The first half set the tone of what the game would like as BC was four-for-25 from three-point range while Edmonds was five-for-nine. The Tritons opted to stay within close range and led 41-34 at halftime.
In the second half matters got worse for Bellevue as the ‘dogs cashed in on only two-for-23 from long range for 9%. The cold shooting resulted in essentially a replay of the first half instead of a momentum swing as the Tritons extended the lead with a 40-28 second half scoring margin.
Bellevue was led by two players off the benchas Sayerr Senghore was six-for-eight from the field with seven rebounds and a team-high 15 points while Brian Caldera had 14 points and six rebounds for the ‘dogs.
The game was one of many pivotoal matchups in the deep North Region which has five teams with over 10 wins at the start of league play. Bellevue moves to 0-2 in league play after a nine-game win streak to close out pre-season and is now 10-6 overall.
