REDLANDS, Calif. – The University of Redlands men's basketball team (21-3, 13-2) were plus 21 points in the second half of their 97-73 home win over Chapman University.

Despite the dominant final score, the Bulldogs found themselves down five, 32-27, with 2:30 on the clock in the first half before Jhace Boston converted on a pair of free throws that started a 9-3 run that put them ahead by three at the half, 38-35.

That run continued into the second half as they scored the first 10 points of the half and were up by 13, 48-35. During that stretch Chozen Amadi and Lucas Gordon scored four points and Dayvon Gates had a basket in the paint.

The lead would eventually get into the 20s when Kendrick Currey ended a 7-0 run with a three-point play that extended the lead to 23, 65-42, with 13:06 to play.

Donovan Ware capped the great game with a trio of threes that helped grow the lead to 30 plus and allowed the Bulldogs to use more players.

Some of those players included Yah Humphrey and Christopher Carter who both finished in the paint to give them 11 different Bulldogs in the scoring column.

Currey had a double-double with 13 points and 14 assists. Gordon had a 16-10 game.

With the win and California Lutheran University's win over Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, the Bulldogs have locked up a home semifinal game in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) Tournament next Friday.

For now, they prepare for the regular season finale at Whittier College on Saturday at 7 p.m.
