Gunnison, Colo.  – Colorado Mesa combined for 106-points Saturday afternoon in Paul Wright Gymnasium, defeating University of the Southwest on day two of the Comfort Inn Classic.

The Mavericks hit as a high 57.6 clip from the floor, and drained another 10, 3-pointers on their way to their second straight win. Defensively, the team grabbed 49 rebounds, snagged 10 steals and recorded five blocks, withholding the Mustangs to a 32.7 shot percentage.

Trevor Baskin captured his first double-double of the season behind an 18-point 13-rebound performance, while also collecting three steals and three blocks. Blaise Threatt led all scorers with 22-points, making it three straight games with over 20-points for the redshirt freshman.

Those were just two of the six Maverick players who put together 10-or more points on the afternoon. Mac Riniker was flawless from the floor, going 7-for-7 with 15-points. Reece Johnson added 12-points and three assists, Jared

Small and Isaac Jessup with 11 and 10-points respectively to complete the team's double figure scorers.

The second half saw the Mustangs work to close the gap, putting together 31 points – but it was no match for the 49 points the Mavericks added to their point total.
