Nucla won the last time they faced Telluride, and Brycen Rummel did his part to make sure it happened again. The Nucla Mustangs took their match on Friday with ease, bagging a 75-35 win over the Telluride Miners thanks in part to Rummel, who went 9-for-15 to rack up 23 points in addition to seven assists and five rebounds. He has been hot for a while, having also posted two or more steals the last 39 times he's played.

Caylon Joseph was another key player, shooting 86% from the field en route to 15 points and seven boards. Thanks to that strong game, he now owns an excellent 45.5% three-point shooting accuracy.

Nucla is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-7 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 59.5 points over those games. Telluride is on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 7-16.

As of now, neither Nucla nor Telluride have any future games scheduled.
