It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Brewer had no problem doing just that on Thursday. They were the clear victor by a 64-44 margin over the Arab Knights. That's the third time they've managed to beat them this season, with their most recent victory being a 66-57 win back in January.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Brewer to victory, but perhaps none more so than Austyn Holmes, who posted 12 points along with six assists and five steals. That's the most steals Holmes has posted since back in November of 2023. Another player making a difference was Cason Oden, who went 5-for-8 en route to 13 points.
