Tommy Bruner's Record 49-Point Game Propels Denver Pioneers

Bruner's historic performance, both on and off the court, sets new records and places him among an elite group of players.

Tommy Bruner, the nation’s leading scorer, delivered a standout performance in a double-overtime victory for the Denver Pioneers against South Dakota, scoring a record-breaking 49 points.
Bruner's game-winning steal and eight assists set new records for the Denver program and placed him among an elite group of players.
Off the court, Bruner is also known for his philanthropy through the Be Different Foundation, delivering presents to more than 100 children for Christmas and recently beginning renovation plans for a local park.
With a season record of 13-8 (4-2), the Pioneers are on track to have their best season in over a decade, and Bruner’s average of 26.2 points per game leads the nation.
Despite South Dakota guard Kaleb Stewart’s impressive 44-point performance, Bruner’s late-game heroics and Isaiah Addo-Ankrah’s three-pointer sealed the win for Denver.
