Owen Bronston Jr.’s Clutch Performance Seals Thrilling 70-64 Upset Over Delaware State

Oh man, let me tell you, watching Owen Bronston Jr. light it up from beyond the arc was a thing of beauty last night in Orangeburg, S.C. The young man drained 15 points, nailing half of his three-point attempts to steer South Carolina State past Delaware State with a solid 70-64 win. It’s moments like these that remind me why I’m so hooked on college hoops—the hustle, the clutch shots, the stories behind the scoreboard. With Bronston leading the charge and support coming from Jayden Johnson, James Morrow, and Florian Tenebay, the Bulldogs showcased grit and determination to snap Delaware State’s six-game skid. Meanwhile, the Hornets, despite Dean Shepherd’s energy off the bench, just couldn’t find a way to overcome their struggles.
