RAPID CITY, S.D. --- The South Dakota School of Mines men's basketball team exacted a little revenge Saturday night on the University of Colorado Colorado Springs Saturday night as the Hardrockers mauled the Mountain Lions, 71-49, during a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference matchup at the King Center in Rapid City, South Dakota.

 The Mountain Lions sank 41.3 percent of their field goals and 46.2 percent from three-point range, but the Hardrockers were sound on their home court, hitting 56.4 percent from the floor and 44.4 percent from downtown.
Allec Williams had himself an outstanding weekend. After hanging 26 points Friday night against Colorado School of Mines, the senior guard registered 22 points in Saturday's outing to lead all scorers. He added four rebounds, two assists, three steal and a blocked shot in the winning effort.
Logan Elers tacked on 11 points for the home team to go along with his six rebounds and two assists.
