Dustin ignites Braves

26 May, 2008 09:20 AM
BENDIGO Telstra Braves import Dustin Bremerman finished agonisingly short of reaching the magical 50-point mark against Nunawading at the Schweppes Centre on Saturday night.

Bremerman scored 49 points in the Braves’ 116-94 victory over the Spectres.

It was the most points scored by a Bendigo player since Denver Tenbroek poured in 52 against Frankston on May 14, 2006.

Bremerman scored nine points in the first quarter, nine in the second, 14 in the third and 17 in the last.

It was thought when Bremerman connected on his 11th three-pointer of the game with 15 seconds remaining in the last quarter that he had brought up his 51st point, sending the crowd into a frenzy.

However, 15 minutes after the game finished, it was revealed Bremerman had finished with 49.

Along with his 11 three-pointers from 16 shots, Bremerman also made six-of-seven free-throws and five-of-eight two-point shots in 40 minutes on court.

‘‘A couple of shots went in for me tonight, but I’m just glad we won the game,’’ said Bremerman, whose previous best was 43 points in a college game for Seattle Pacific.

‘‘I started off well in the first quarter, which was good for me.

‘‘When I hit my first couple of shots it gives me confidence, and I think that helped me down the stretch.’’

Bremerman is averaging 18.6 points per game in his first season for the Braves.
