ANDERSON, S.C. -- DeQuan Abrom scored 20 points, but a season-low shooting percentage sent 20th-ranked Belmont Abbey to a 75-64 defeat at Anderson in non-conference men's basketball Tuesday afternoon.

The Crusaders (8-3) hit just 22 of 53 (41.5 percent) from the field en route to its lowest offensive output of the season.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Trojans led 35-32 at the half, but BAC stormed out of the gate in the second with a 17-8 push for a 49-43 lead.
• However, Anderson hit back-to-back threes to start an 11-0 run and never trailed again.
