His biggest contribution came in the clutch. With 0:08 to go, Bracey connected on the go-ahead three-pointer, hoisting the left-handed shot as time expired on the shot clock to give the Cougars a 61-60 edge. For the season, Bracey is averaging 13.3 points per game. He is third in the ODAC in foul shooting (.816; 31-of-38), fifth in three-point shooting (.375; 24-of-64), and seventh in assists (39) and assists to turnover ratio (1.5).
