Losers of six of its last seven games, the Casper College men's basketball team is happy to be home.
The Thunderbirds (9-9), who have played one game in Casper since Nov. 25, host Eastern Wyoming at 7 p.m. today at Swede Erickson Thunderbird Gym. Casper College head coach Gary Becker said Josh Davis, who has not played in four of the last five games due to disciplinary reasons, will be back in the lineup for the sub-region contest. Davis averages 15.5 points and 7.2 rebounds per game.
The Lancers (11-9) enter the game losers of four straight, including a loss at Western Wyoming on Saturday.
"They are a lot like us; up and down on the roller coaster," Becker said in a school release. "We beat them in December (75-55), but they are a solid team."
Eastern Wyoming is shooting 47 percent from beyond the arc, second-best in the region.
The T-Birds return to action on Saturday, when they host Western Nebraska in the second half of a homecoming doubleheader. The men's game, which will be preceded by the women's game, will tip-off at 8 p.m.
