Recap
The Wildcats had an eventful weekend, splitting a pair of games in the Sunshine Slam at the Ocean Center. The Wildcats stunned Bryant on Saturday, cruising to an 81-75 win thanks to four double-digit scorers led by
Dylan Robertson's 21. The highest-scoring effort of the Wildcats' season marked the win for head coach
Reggie Theus at the helm of B-CU.

Robertson was named to the All-Tournament team for his performance over the weekend.
