Three Point Barrage Leads (RV) Rocky Men’s Basketball to Season-Sweep Over Bismarck State

BILLINGS, Mont.- Rocky Men's Basketball drained 22 three-pointers, with five players finishing in double-figures in a blowout victory over the Mystics, 91-50.  

Omari Nesbit recorded a career-high 26 points in just 24 minutes played, sinking eight threes overall. In total, seven different Battlin' Bears drained a three-pointer, and ten players recorded points in a commanding win at home. 

How It Happened
Omari Nesbit was red hot out of the gates, draining four consecutive threes, as the Battlin' Bears drained their first five threes to sprint out to a 15-10 lead. A quick 5-0 run for the Mystics to tie the contest, but an 11-2 response by the Battlin' Bears would lead to a nine-point lead with ten minutes remaining. Rocky's offense commanded the final seven minutes of the first half, holding Bismarck State to just two points, while drilling six threes on the offensive end to rally for a 19-2 run to close the half and bring a 24-point advantage into halftime. 

In the first half alone, the Battlin' Bears totaled 16 made field goals, with 14 of them coming from three-point range, six of which came from Omari Nesbit. 

The good times continued to roll for the Rocky men, outscoring Bismarck State 18-4 over the first ten minutes of the second half, forcing five Mystic turnovers and allowing just one field goal during that stretch. The Battlin' Bear bench gained valuable experience over the final ten minutes to wrap up a dominant win, 91-50. 

Notable Statistics
Omari Nesbit sank eight three-pointers to total a career-high 26 points, along with five rebounds, four assists, and two steals. Royce Robinson added 13 points and eight rebounds, Drew Bowman and Kyle Jones each sank four three-pointers apiece, and freshman Carson Towe recorded ten points in the final ten minutes of the game. 

The Battlin' Bears finished the contest shooting 44.4% from the field and 44.9% from three-point range. Rocky set season-highs in three-point makes (22) and attempts (49), while also totaling a season-low four turnovers. Both teams tallied 40 rebounds, while Rocky forced 18 Mystic turnovers.  

Bismarck State was led by 17 points and 16 rebounds from Houston Davis.
