CALDWELL, ID - Simpson men's basketball completed a successful trip to Idaho in the Domino's Classic hosted by College of Idaho.

The Red Hawks opened up the two-game classic by facing Multnomah University and controlled the game from the opening tip winning, 73-65. SU dominated the rebounding battle, out-rebounding the Lions by ten. Gary Mims was the dominant force for Simpson recording 24 points and 11 rebounds in the victory. Morgan Cox also tallied a double-double finishing with 10 points and 12 boards.

Simpson's defense was suffocating the Lions holding MU to just 22 percent from beyond the arc and 42 percent overall forcing 16 turnovers.

The win over the Lions was the first win away from home on the season for the Red Hawks and was an impressive one knocking off a solid Cascade Conference team.

In game two the Red Hawks clashed with 18th ranked COI Yotes in a hostile environment on the Yotes home floor. SU shocked the Yotes in the first half trailing by just four at the intermission. 

Throughout the early season, Simpson has stunned many opponents in the first half including College of Idaho, Hawaii at Hilo, and Sacramento State by trailing by just a few points at the half despite being considered underdogs in each game.

In the second half, Simpson's shots were not falling as they were in the first half, shooting just 36 percent after being above 50 percent in the first half. Drey Ubas led the Red Hawks in scoring with 17 points and Weston VandenHazel wa
