Cougar men down Air Force J.V. at Husky Invite

The WNCC men's basketball team needed two free throws by Erik Smith with just over four seconds to play for the 3-point win 78-75. The Cougars led by 11 at halftime and led by as many as 10 and 12 points on many occasions, only to see the jayvee squad cut the lead to two and one point, the latter with 5.8 seconds to play.

WNCC had four players in double figures. Ricardo De Bem and Erik Smith each had 18 points followed by Maurice Wright with 16 and Chance Wallesen with 14. Also scoring for the Cougars were Matthew Akins with six, and Carl Buck, CJ Hampton and Antonio Jones with two each.

WNCC will be back in action Saturday afternoon against Air Force Prep and then wraps up the tournament on Sunday at 3 p.m. against Luke Air Force Base.
