Colson, who made his NBA debut with Milwaukee this past season, made 11 of 13 free-throw attempts and had five rebounds and two steals. Landale made all 10 of his free-throw attempts and led the Bucks with 10 rebounds.

Daulton Hommer, a sniper from Division II Point Loma, had 18 points on 6-of-8 shooting, including making all 3 of his 3-point attempts.
