(Nathan Michel, Weber State Athletics)Weber State men’s basketball shot just 2 of 20 from the 3-point line but cruised to an 80-57 victory over non-NCAA opponent Lincoln-California on Saturday evening at the Dee Events Center to pick up Kaleb Canales’ first regular-season win.
A slow-starting WSU squad got down 12-8 as the midway point of the first half approached but a bevy of Wildcats helped spur a 16-0 run to put WSU up 24-12 with 4:13 left in the frame. WSU led 32-18 at the half.
After Dylan Warlick scored six straight for WSU across either side of halftime, he hit the Wildcats’ first 3-pointer with 15:00 left in the contest. That put Weber up 46-26 and there was little drama after that.
Of all 13 healthy WSU players who took the court, 11 scored in the win; starter Dyllan Thompson and reserve Declan Cutler did not score. Warlick’s spurt gave him a team-high 13 points.
Freshman forward Chamberlain Burgess totaled 11 points and 10 rebounds off the bench for Weber State (1-3); he had the other made 3-pointer. Freshman point guard Gavin Lowe added 11 points. Augustine Ekwe totaled 10 points and four rebounds in just 15 minutes, spending most of the game in foul trouble.
Lincoln, a squad based in Oakland, played just six players. Veljko Munitlak led the Oaklanders with 25 points on 25 field goal attempts.
Weber State next gears up for the flame-throwing Aggies of Utah State on Wednesday, who have scored 118 and 120 points in their last two games against Division I opponents (Utah Tech, UC San Diego).
