Reivers Trounce Tigers, 83-59                                             
    Dinc Collects Game-High Nine Rebounds

 (Bloomington, Ind.).  The Iowa Western CC Reivers pummeled the Marshalltown Tigers 83-59 in Council Bluff, Iowa, Saturday night in the teams' Region XI Division I opener.  The Tigers (12-6, 0-1) were never in the game, according to head coach Brynjar Brynjarsson.  "Iowa Western dominated every aspect of the game and they just wore us out,” he said.

Marshalltown committed sixteen turnovers in the first half and twenty-four for the game.  Shooting woes also plagued the Tigers as only one player, guard  Kenard Moore, scored in double figures.  He had twelve.  The Tigers’ leading scorer, DaShawn Wright, a Gary, indiana native, was held to eight points, eleven off his average. 

Antoine Dade, Iowa Western's 6-7 power forward, said the Reivers' coaching staff did a good job of scouting former Indiana Hoosier, Cem Dinc.  The Reivers double-teamed Dinc most of the night, which limited his number of touches and shots.  Dinc was 1-5 from the field, but was fouled on two of those attempts and made three of four from the line.  He ended up with five points, but, passing out of the double team, he had four assists and finished with a game-high nine rebounds.  In two games, Dinc is averaging 10.5 points and 11.5 rebounds. 

"We never got untracked," Dinc said.  "We made too many turnovers and couldn't get anything to drop."  The Tigers shot just 32.7% from the field.  Marshalltown hits the road again tonight to take on the Iowa Lakes Community College Lakers (10-9, 0-4) in Estherville, Iowa.
