<\/p>\n CHICAGO — The fourth-ranked University of Chicago men’s basketball team opened UAA play with a bang on Saturday as the Maroons cruised to an 85-62 win over #8 WashU in front of a crowd of nearly 1,300 raucous fans.<\/p>\n The Maroons set the tone of the game early, sparking their offense by taking an early 5-0 lead in the first two minutes. After a bit back and forth, Daniel Cochran<\/a> found Nick Roper<\/a> on a fast break for a two-handed slam, extending the lead to seven.<\/p>\n The Bears found their offense as a layup in the paint cut the deficit back to five, but the Maroons quickly responded with as Shane Regan<\/a> scored three straight baskets inside, and Eamonn Kenah<\/a> knocked down back-to-back three-pointers to jump the Maroons on a 19-0 run. Going into halftime, UChicago held a 41-26 advantage over the Bears.<\/p>\n UChicago continued to apply pressure after the break. Cochran opened the second half with a fast-break three, Roper followed with another from deep, and Kenah buried a transition triple to push the lead to 50-26 less than two minutes into the half. WashU made several attempts to close the gap, but the Maroons consistently responded with baskets of their own, including a corner three from Noah Pit<\/a> and multiple finishes in the paint by Regan. Kenah’s fifth triple of the afternoon sealed the deal for UChicago down the stretch as UChicago rolled to the 23-point victory.<\/p>\n Shane Regan<\/a> led the Maroons with 20 points, 11 rebounds, and five assists, shooting an impressive 71.4% from the floor. Kenah added 19 points and Cochran finished with 14 points. Nick Roper<\/a> chipped in 13 as UChicago shot 54.7% from the floor and 46.4% from three-point range.<\/p>\n With the win, the Maroons improve to 11-1 and stretch the winning streak to nine consecutive game, their longest since the 2003 season. UChicago will return to action next weekend with a pair of road contests at Case Western Reserve and Carnegie Mellon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
