Bishops Pour In 101 in Dominant Win Over Brevard

N.C. Wesleyan delivered a dominant all-around performance in a 101–60 victory over Brevard on January 11 at Everett Gymnasium, showcasing offensive efficiency, depth, and sustained pressure on both ends of the floor. The Bishops jumped out to a 43–34 halftime lead before erupting for 58 points in the second half to put the game out of reach. Wesleyan shot an impressive 55.9 percent from the field and 46.2 percent from three-point range, knocked down 12 three-pointers, and converted 23 of 27 free throws, maintaining control throughout the contest. The Bishops also made their presence felt on the glass, outrebounding Brevard 42–17, while scoring 29 second-chance points, 30 points in the paint, and 18 fast-break points, reflecting a complete and aggressive team effort.

Nasir Johnson led the offensive surge with a standout performance, scoring 31 points on 11-of-13 shooting while adding four rebounds, five assists, and steady leadership throughout the game. Rashod Smith followed with 21 points, connecting on four three-pointers and pulling down eight rebounds to fuel Wesleyan's transition attack. James Jones added 15 points, all coming from beyond the arc, stretching the defense and opening the floor for his teammates. Marcus Portis provided a major spark off the bench with 10 points and four rebounds, while Ro'Mello Pegues, Markquan Gilbert, and Jordan Dancy each chipped in key minutes as part of a deep rotation that allowed Wesleyan to maintain its tempo for all 40 minutes. With contributions throughout the lineup and a second-half offensive explosion, the Bishops capped the afternoon with one of their most complete performances of the season. Your Bishops will be back in action on Saturday, January 17, 2026, when they travel to Southern Virginia for a USA South Conference game at Knight Arena in Buena Vista, Virginia.
