UOG Men's Basketball Team Defeats The Falcons 103-73 In The Guam Basketball Challenge
The 91¿ì²¥ Men's Basketball Team defeated the Falcon’s club team on Saturday 103 to 73 at the Coral Reef Recreation
Center on the Andersen Air Force Base in the Guam Basketball Challenge.
In a game that felt much like a UOG intra-squad game, the Tritons started off slow,
changing line-ups often as both teams struggled to score. The Falcons, made up of
mostly ex-UOG players like Eric Reyes, Jorge Piolo, Dez Fikes, Mark Tandoc and others
only had 5 players to start but built their roster to 8 players as the game moved
forward.
UOG found a bit of an offensive rhythm in the 2nd period and took a 10 point lead
into half-time 42-32.
The Tritons came out fast and furious in the third period, making the game a full
court affair and scored 33 points and held the Falcons to 14 in the period to take
a commanding 75-46 lead at the end of the 3rd quarter.
UOG cruised for most the 4th period and cleared the bench at the 5 minute mark of
the final period and won 103-73 at the end.
Blake Jenkins led the Tritons with 23 points and 15 rebounds with 2 blocks while Anthony
Brown and Geno Anderson scored 14 a piece. Brown had 20 rebounds for UOG with 8 assists
and Geno Anderson added 7 rebounds.
UOG is 3-0 in the Guam Basketball Challenge and has scored 100+ points all three games
and face the host Andersen Bombers on Sunday at Noon.
