RENO, Nev.- Reno's two newcomers-forward Anthony Richardson and guard Salim Stoudamire-combined for 32 points and nine assists Wednesday night, but the Iowa Energy used a dominant third-quarter effort to defeat the Bighorns, 124-109, in the Reno Events Center.

The Bighorns (10-7) trailed by six at intermission, but the Energy (14-5) came out firing in the second half. Iowa outscored Reno 39-23 in the third period, taking a lead it would not relinquish.

Marcus Landry led Reno with 21 points, helped by three three-point goals. Patrick Ewing added 20 points, and Doug Thomas pulled down a team-high nine rebounds.

Chris Lofton hit seven three-pointers for Iowa on his way to a game-high 30 points. Curtis Stinson finished with 23 points and 10 assists, while Courtney Sims nabbed 14 rebounds for the Energy.
