Cardi And Miller Propel Men's Hoops To Conference Opener Road Win At Brooklyn On Friday Evening

Brooklyn, NY - Powered by a game-high 26 points from reigning CUNYAC Player of the Week Keyshawn Miller and a scintillating shooting performance from Jeremiah Cardi, who netted a career-high 24 points, the John Jay men's basketball team recorded their first conference win of the season, defeating Brooklyn College, 84-68, at the West Quad Gymnasium on Friday evening.

With the win, John Jay improved to 7-3 on the season, matching the start of the 2019-20 team that started 7-3 and finished the year 20-7. Brooklyn falls to 3-6 on the season.

Miller and Cardi exhibited a proficient shooting display as the duo combined to connect on 17- of 28 from the field, while each of them hit six three-pointers, going a combined 12 of 19.

This marks the second straight contest in which a pair of Bloodhound teammates scored at least 20 points in a game (Jamir Stewart and Syl Granda against St. Joseph's University - Brooklyn).

Jordan Evelyn was the third Bloodhound to reach double-figures, scoring 12 points on 5 of 10 shooting while pulling in six rebounds.

David McFadden led Brooklyn with 14 points while hitting 5 of 11 from the field, including 3 of 6 from the outside. He dished out a team-high four assists and was one of four Bulldogs to record a block. Serge Thraysbule chipped in 12 points on 5 of 8 shooting, while Joe Charles added 11 points in 19 minutes. Stephon McGill was a point shy of a double-double, ending with nine points and ten rebounds.

The two teams traded baskets in the early portion of the contest before Cardi found his stride, spearheading a 14-5 run in which he tallied eight points during the five-minute run as the visitors led 21-14.

The Bulldogs trio of McFadden, Charles, and Thraysbule sparked an 8-4 run to get back to within three, 25-22, at the 7:08 mark, as Charles drilled a three-pointer.

Both teams shot efficiently down the stretch, with John Jay outscoring Brooklyn 18-13 over the final 7:07 to take a 43-35 lead as Miller rattled in a three-pointer just before the horn sounded.

The Bloodhounds shot 53.8 percent in the opening half, hitting 64.3 percent from three-point range. 

Brooklyn opened the second half as both teams struggled over the first four minutes despite John Jay holding a 48-41 lead.

The visitors added to their advantage, staging a 14-8 run over a 3:30 span that saw the lead swell to 62-49 after Miller hit from outside again.

John Jay closed the contest, scoring 22 of the final 37 points on 9 of 19 shooting down the stretch.

Both teams shot over 40.0 percent from the field (47.6 for John Jay; 43.6 for Brooklyn), while the Bloodhounds converted on 17 of 29 from the outside (58.6 percent).

John Jay will look for their third straight win when they return home to the Doghouse on Tuesday, December 10, to welcome St. Joseph's University - Long Island.
