AUSTIN, Texas – Five minutes into Thursday night's game, Concordia-Austin forward K.B. DeBord put down a reverse dunk on a backdoor cut to become the second Division III player this season (and the first man) to reach the 2,000-point plateau. He finished the night with 39 points on 12-for-21 shooting from the floor and 14-for-16 from the line. He finished the night with 2,031 points.
DeBord would have reached the plateau sooner, but the senior missed a game in January because of injury after having started 86 consecutive games. The two-time first-team All-American Southwest Conference selection is averaging 24 points per game this season and 21 per game over the course of his career, while shooting 60% from the floor. Misericordia junior guard Willie Chandler is next up for 2,000, as he's six short of the
milestone heading into Saturday's game against Wesley.
