Cougar men get offensive, pound Buckley 117-109

The Western Nebraska Community College men's basketball team wanted to make a statement Friday in the Colby Ambassador Classic after Thursday's overtime loss.

And, they did downing Buckley Air Force Base 117-109. The two team's combined scores of 226 points fell six points of the all time record of most points by two teams. That mark of 232 points, was set back in the 1963-64 and 1966-67 seasons. Still, the Cougars had to fend off numorous rallies all night by Buckley, who had just five players suited up.

Playing well for the Cougars was CJ Hampton, who nailed some clutch 3-pointers to finish with over 20 points. Also playing well was David Busma, who nailed some key buckets late in the first half.

WNCC will now face Colby Community College on Saturday in the final day of the tournament.
