Builds on nation-leading scoring average Bruner amassed 27 points (8-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 7-11 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Saturday's 86-82 loss to Northern Colorado. Impact Bruner has been electric in his second season with the Pioneers, as he leads the nation with a 25.4 ppg scoring average while shooting a career-best 43.0 percent from the field. A relatively soft non-conference schedule has helped his case, but the fifth-year senior's efforts will surely make Denver a threat in the Summit League this season.
