Indiana Mad Ants News Release
The Albuquerque Thunderbirds came out hot and stayed hot all night as they defeated the Fort Wayne Mad Ants 98-79 on Sunday afternoon at the Memorial Coliseum. The Thunderbirds' Josh Gross was more than the Mad Ants could handle with an outstanding 31 points, shooting 63% from the floor.
The Thunderbirds dominated the first half, heading into the locker room with a comfortable 23 point lead. The second half did not get much better for the Mad Ants; they would cut the lead to 14 at the end of the third quarter with back to back layups from Earl Calloway and Rod Wilmont but would not get any closer.
Along with Gross's 31 point showcase, Albuquerque had three others in double figures: Serge Angounou (17), Ali Berdiel (16), Ramon Dyer (12). Jeremy Richardson led the Mad Ants in scoring and rebounds with 22 and 10 respectively. Eric Smith also had a big night for the Ants with 18 points.
With the loss, the Mad Ants fall to 0-2 while the Thunderbirds advance to 2-0.
