Holy Cross can finally bid farewell to their three-game losing streak thanks to their game on Tuesday. They enjoyed a cozy 84-68 victory over the Black Knights. Winning is a bit easier when your three-point shooting is a whole 40.3% better than the opposition, as Holy Cross' was.

Among those leading the charge was Joe Octave, who scored 28 points along with six rebounds. He continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Bo Montgomery, who almost dropped a double-double on 14 points and nine rebounds.
