UAA scrimmage game showcases new hoops talent

Newcomers made a good impression Saturday in the UAA men's basketball team's annual Green and Gold scrimmage game at the Alaska Airlines Center.

Derrick Fain, a senior transfer, totaled 25 points and four assists to lead the Gold team to a 93-82 victory over the Green squad, which was led by junior transfer Kevin Bowman's 24 points on 8-of-14 shooting.

Also contributing for the Gold were Kalidou Diouf, a redshirt freshman who scored 14 points on 7-of-10 shooting, and true freshmen Damien Fulp, who sank 3 of 6 shots from 3-point range for 13 points, and Sjur Berg, who grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds.

Veterans made their mark too. Brian McGill, a second-team all-conference pick last season, scored 19 points and had eight assists and no turnovers for the Gold, and junior Christian Leckband racked up 17 points and nine rebounds for the Green.
