Joel Davidson’s Point guard play was tremendous in the night between Dominique Brooks and (Idaho commit) Denzel Douglas had six assists and zero turnovers for the night.

Saturday night the T-birds picked up right where they left off at while facing Region IX foe Northeastern JC. The T-Birds forced 30 Plainsmen turnovers and held a double digit lead throughout the contest, Casper College won convincingly by a score of 94-65.  Remi Dibo led all scorers with 26 points including the first seven points to start the game.
