PITT-BRADFORD'S KELLY-PERKINS REACHES 1,000 POINT MILESTONE
February 1, 2018
The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford men's basketball team pulled out a tough comeback win over D'Youville Wednesday at the KOA Arena, 81-79.
With the game tied at 79-79, D'Youville hit a shot as the shot clock expired with two seconds left on the game clock, appearing to take the lead late. But the officials gathered and determined the shot was late and thus would be ruled a shot clock violation, keeping the game at 79-79. Protesting the overruling, D'Youville's bench received a technical foul, giving Pitt-Bradford a chance to take the lead with a pair of free throws. Senior guard Christian Kelly-Perkins sank both and the Panthers eventually went on to earn their second AMCC win.
Kelly-Perkins, needing 22 points to reach the 1,000-point plateau for his collegiate career, sank a three-ball 10 minutes into the second half to reach the milestone.
