IRVINE, Calif. - The CUI men's basketball team wrapped up its regular season Saturday afternoon on Senior Day against Azusa Pacific.

Despite battling hard, the Cougars came out victorious 80-60.

The Green and Gold celebrated five seniors on the day Reed Gutierrez, Maximus Bo, Kai Parham, Cameron Fini, and Lance Coleman II .

Sophomore Freddie Dybala and freshman Jackson Tucker led the Golden Eagles in scoring dropping 14 points each. They both hit two three-pointers on the day.

Fellow sophomore Kobe Sanders had 10 points while going 4-for-8 from the charity stripe. Senior Cameron Fini and guard Connor Gleason posted eight points with Gleason dishing out four assists.

There was no bigger moment in the game than when senior Maximus Bo made his way to the table late in the game.

The Golden Eagles fans erupted when Bo checked in, and it got even louder when Bo dropped a deep three-pointer with a hand in his face.
 
"With over two-thirds of our guys out with injuries, that was a remarkable effort," said CUI head coach Ken Ammann. "I'm proud of those guys. We missed a lot of wide-open shots but we got a lot of really good looks and played hard."

"You see a lot of teams that struggle with losses and they tank, and these guys were the opposite," added Ammann. "We competed the last month harder than we did all year, so that's a testament to their character and the guys out there fighting."
