The University of Guam Men’s Basketball Team pounded the Tide from Pacific Islands University on Friday night at the UOG Calvo Field House 144-35 in the Guam Men’s College Basketball League.

UOG came out with an intense defense that led to many layups and open 3 pointers, and on this night, the Trident team took advantage of the opportunities and the PIU Tide had to suffer from the consequences and very lop-sided score.

The game was never close, the Tide tried to slow the pace down as best it could in a game that uses a 24 second clock but the Triton defense had 15 steals on the night and most of those were converted into layups or 3 point shots. The Tritons were up 68-19 at half and it got worse in the 2nd half that lead to the 144-35 final.

Anthony Castro led UOG with 27 points and Ryan Nangauta added 25 points. AJ Brown added 17 points with 10 rebounds and 7 assists on the night. Dinery Lorenco led PIU with 21 points.

The Tritons are now 4-0 in the GMCBL after the first half of the season and they take on Harvest Baptist Bible College on Saturday, February 10 at Noon. Pacific Islands is 0-4 and face HBBC on Monday, February 12 at 6:15 p.m.

In the first game on Friday night, the UOG Trident Men’s Basketball Club defeated Harvest Baptist 105-51. The Tridents are now 2-2 on the season while HBBC moved to 1-3.
