Reyne Smith put on a show by breaking his own single-game three-point record, making 10 shots from beyond the arc for a career-high 32 points.

Butler led the charge with 18 points, followed by Brzovic (13), Policelli (11), and Smith (10) all contributing in double figures. The team currently ranks eighth in the nation in bench points per game, third in three-point attempts per game, and eighth in threes made per game.
