The Pronghorn Men tried numerous times to get back in the game against Casper College (13-5, 4-3), but just couldn’t get enough momentum in the second half to do so, as Gillette College (13-6, 4-2) lost, 84-79.

The Pronghorns kept it close throughout the game, tying it up in the first half at 2-2 and 23-23. They trailed by only six points, 42-36 at the end of the first half. In the second half, the Thunderbirds stayed just out of reach for the Pronghorns with plenty of eight, nine, ten and 11-point leads. The Pronghorns kept cutting it down, but just couldn’t find a way to tie it or take the lead.


The Thunderbirds success from beyond the arc and at the free throw line is what kept Gillette College from catching up. Casper College made nine treys and 19 out of 24 free throws. Jerrold Brooks made four of those nine threes and four Thunderbirds were perfect from the charity stripe.


Gillette College will try and get back to winning, as they take on Northwest College on Wednesday at the South Campus. Game time is 7:30pm and you can catch all the action on News/Talk 1270 and online at http://www.network1sports.com/station/kiml#menus.
