PEORIA — Just prior to the Bradley men’s Red-White scrimmage Saturday, forward Luuk van Bree brought new meaning to the phrase “shooting the lights out.”

Van Bree hit 13 of 15 3-pointers in the long-range shooting contest involving both BU men’s and women’s players to repeat as the event’s champion. His women’s team partner, Madison Dellamuth, contributed six 3s to the winning cause.

“There had been a lot of trash-talking, so it was good to go back-to-back,” van Bree said.

Then, the lights at Renaissance Coliseum were dimmed and the spotlights came on for player introductions.
