COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Leave Chase Spreen open for too many 3-pointers and you're bound to pay, just as Brescia (Ky.) University did to the tune of 22 points and three makes from behind the arc to lead the Lindsey Wilson College men's basketball team to an 85-56 win at Biggers Sports Center on Tuesday.

Brescia got a team-high 18 points from Aaron Tandy and 11 points from Bryce Garrett, while Darren Smith added 10.
Lindsey Wilson held a decisive 39-22 rebound advantage and outshot the Bearcats from the field 51.7 percent to 44.7 percent.
Brescia was forced into 19 turnovers, while Lindsey Wilson let go of just 14 possessions with 19 assists.
The Bearcats struggled behind the arc, hitting just 1-of-9 shots for 11.1 percent.
