T-Bird Men Trounce NJC

The Casper College men's basketball team improved to 4-1 on the year with a 83-56 win over Northeastern Colorado on Tuesday night at the Erickson Gym. The T-Birds jumped out to big lead in the opening moments and never looked back. This year's squad plans to play at a high tempo and had a productive weekend in Scottsbluff with a win over #8 Salt Lake and a narrow loss to #3 Southern Idaho. In Tuesday's game, Wilfried Layaki and Philip Pepple had 16 points each. Isaac Bonton had a dozen with Amin Adamu throwing in 11. The Birds had just 8 turnovers in the contest and will take their show on the road in the Miles City, Montana tournament Friday and Saturday
