NASHVILLE, TENN. - It has been over ten years since confetti shot through the air at a Lipscomb basketball game.
Fifty seconds into Thursday evening’s “Battle of the Boulevard” between Lipscomb and Belmont, the confetti was flying when Lipscomb’s Brandon Brown scored the first two points of the game.
A little over two minutes later, the Bisons had jumped to a 9-3 lead on their way to a 73-68 win over the Bruins in front of 4,778 screaming fans in Allen Arena.
The New Year had not been as bright for the Bisons as they way they closed out 2008 with a win over Indiana.
It was Lipscomb’s only win on the season by less than 12 points. Lipscomb had lost seven games in January and February by an average of 3.4 points.
“We needed a close win to get the ultimate confidence especially against a very good team like Belmont,” said Sanderson.
