Cave scored 24 points in the Cardinal men's basketball team's 57-48 home win over the Royals last Wednesday, and followed that up with another 24-point performance in the teams’ rematch — a 66-58 Saint Mary’s victory — three days later.
Â
Cave went 9-for-17 with a pair of t3-pointers and a perfect 4-for-4 effort from the free throw line in last Wednesday’s victory, while adding five rebounds, on assist and one steal.
Â
In the sequel on Saturday, Cave equaled his offensive performance, once again knocking down nine field goals on 17 attempts, while pouring in four 3-pointers and a 2-for-2 effort from the charity stripe en route to 24-point night No. 2.
Â
Cave, who has now scored in double figures in 32 straight games and in 56 of 56 games over the past three seasons — and has netted 20 or more points 28 times in his collegiate career — heads into Monday night’s showdown at Augsburg averaging 22.4 ppg.
