Record Roll Resumes - Borchers' big night guides Morningside

HASTINGS, NEB. – Tyler Borchers (SR/Le Mars, IA )' collegiate basketball resume is filled with superb stat lines.

You can add his red-hot outing from a Wednesday, Jan. 29, Great Plains Athletic Conference win at Hastings College to the list. The LeMars, Iowa, native scored 21 points in the first 20 minutes and wound up a stratospheric 40-minute contest at Lynn Farrell Arena compiling a single-game personal high 37 points to go along with 13 rebounds and three blocked shots.

Head coach Jim Sykes' squad needed all of their post player's first-half digits to turn away a pesky Broncos crew. Borchers canned four straight field goals twice in the opening stanza to ensure a 39-34 halftime advantage. Mside managed to build on that margin throughout the second half before winding up with the 81-70 triumph to improve to 23-0 overall and 15-0 in the league.

Guard Alex Borchers (SR/South Sioux City, NE ) (South Sioux City, Neb.), also a Class of 2020 member, almost made it two visiting double-doubles. He tallied 15 points and grabbed eight rebounds while dishing out three assists.

Harboring a tie for the program's consecutive wins mark (23), the Mustangs continue a span of back-to-back road conference battles Saturday, Feb. 1. Game time against River City rival Briar Cliff University is 4 p.m. at BC's Newman Flanagan Center.

NOTES: Tyler Borchers' evening story continued with a glance at the Maroon all-time scoring list. He became the school's fourth player all-time to tally 1,800 or more.
