Central Arizona Stuns Eastern Arizona in Men’s Junior College Upset

(Interstat) — Central Arizona snapped a three-game skid with a decisive 79-59 victory over Eastern Arizona in a men’s junior college basketball game Wednesday night. The visiting Vaqueros, despite entering with an 8-16 record, led wire-to-wire, building a 45-32 halftime advantage and never looking back. Brayden Gant led Central Arizona with 20 points, while Ryan Hunt scored a game-high 27 for the Gila Monsters. Eastern Arizona, which fell to 16-10, struggled offensively, shooting just 3 of 21 from three-point range and committing 14 turnovers. Central Arizona’s efficient 17-of-20 performance from the free-throw line helped secure the road win, defying a national statistical projection that heavily favored the home team.
