| Bombers take first step towards title defense |
| In
a rematch of one of last year's semifinals,
Macomb took control early and led the whole way
in dispatching the Western Wildcats, 66-37. A big
reason for the Bomber victory? In a word:
turnovers. Macomb (6-3) committed only 11 while forcing 23 Wildcat turnovers which led to a 26-7 advantage in points off of turnovers. The host Bombers also led Western (5-6) in the rebounding department, 32-20. Alex Roberts paced Macomb with 20 points on 9-for-10 shooting while Alexander Heille added 11. Western was led by Jayson Carlton's 12 point effort. Western faces BPCA in a consolation bracket quarterfinal tomorrow afternoon at 1:00 while Macomb moves to the winners side quarterfinals where they face #2 seeded Pittsfield. |
