Cougars wrap up trip to Missouri unbeaten
The Barton County Community College men's basketball team made it 3-for-3 in Missouri to start the season, winning a 92-61 decision over Motlow College (Tenn.) on the final day of the Ozark Medical Center Tipoff Classic in West Plains, Mo. The win gives the Cougars a 3-0 start.

Highlights
After struggling in the first half of the first two ball games, the Cougars bolted out of the gates against Motlow and never trailed the entire basketball game on the way to the easy win.

Nouha Diakite led Barton County with a career-high 24 points, followed by sophomore Robert Whaley with 14. Also joining the two in double figures was freshman Rodney Epperson with 13. Every player for the Cougars that suited up scored in the contest.

Next
Barton will be back in action next weekend as they host the Pepsi Classic at Barton County. The Cougars will play Friday at 8 p.m. against Seminole College of Oklahoma.
