Defending NWAC runner-up Bellevue College men’s basketball made their 2022-23 season debut this weekend falling 82-78 to Green River on Friday before topping host Tacoma 121-77 on Saturday. The weekend was a four-team round-robin featuring two NWAC West Region teams (Green River, Tacoma) and two North Region (Bellevue, Peninsula) facing each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the Friday loss, the Bulldogs fell victim to Gator hot shooting in the first half as Green River got out to a 47-29 lead, thanks to the touch of Green River’s Tyler Burraston, who was 5-for-7 from three-point range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bellevue controlled the offense in the second half, getting off nearly twice as many shots as the Gators. Bishop Tosi, one of several key players back from last year’s squad, led BC’s rally with 15 points in the second half. He led the ‘dogs with 23 points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Saturday, newcomer Prophet Johnson dominated the floor with 14-for-19 shooting for 33 points. He led the ‘dogs with eight rebounds as well. Another freshman, Owen Moriarty, had 19 points, eight rebounds, and led the team with six assists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
