The Pronghorn men (14-10, 5-6) couldn’t hold on to a three-point halftime lead, as Western Wyoming Community College (19-6, 7-5) made 16 of its 21 attempts from the charity stripe in the second half. The Mustangs were victorious in the 81-75 contest.

Gillette College was called for 22 fouls, twice as many as Western Wyoming CC. Every Mustang that made it to the free throw line, made 70 percent or more of their opportunities there. The Pronghorns had a better field goal percentage than the Mustangs, but were outdone beyond the arc as Western sank three more treys than Gillette.


It was another stellar night for George Edwards, as he had the game high of 25 points. However, Kash McKinney was the only other Pronghorn to finish in double digits with ten points, compared to four Mustangs that had 12 or more points. Ian Matos led the Mustangs with 19 points.


Gillette College will face a Little Big Horn team that it crushed in Montana on Jan. 14th by a score of 123-79. Like the women’s team, Little Big Horn’s men’s squad is in the basement in the Region IX. The two teams will face each other at the South Campus at 7:30pm.
