Northern Colorado absolutely shredded Colorado College Monday night, kicking off their season with a monstrous 117-64 victory. This wasn’t just a win, it was a full-on offensive clinic right out of the gate.
Bears’ Offensive Explosion Was Unstoppable
The Bears came out firing, putting up an eye-popping 117 points in their first game. Jeremiah Hammond was a force, dropping 17 points on a super efficient 5-for-9 from the field. He was dialed in from deep too, hitting 3 of his 5 attempts from beyond the arc and draining 4 of 5 from the free-throw line. But it wasn’t a one-man show. Chiante Tramble added 13 points, shooting 5-for-8 from the field, and Hunter Caldwell chipped in 12 points, with a red-hot 4-for-6 from three-point land. This team was just relentlessly attacking the basket and knocking down shots.
Tigers Fought Hard, But the Numbers Were Too Much
Colorado College’s Tigers, despite facing an absolute barrage, saw a few players step up. Nick Brashear led the team with 13 points and even snagged two steals, trying to spark some life. Bryson Gaines added 12 points, and Christian Drummond contributed 11 points, showing some fight. But when the opposing team hangs 117 on you, it’s tough to keep pace, no matter how hard you push.
What’s Next for Northern Colorado
Northern Colorado now takes their high-octane offense on the road. They are set to visit Arizona State on Friday. After a performance like that, you know they’re bringing that same energy, and everyone will be watching to see if they can keep this momentum rolling. This team looks ready to make some noise, and they’re just getting started.
