Box Score PUEBLO, Colo. - A red-hot second half and a balanced offense overall helped #7 Colorado School of Mines close the regular season with a 74-60 win at CSU Pueblo.

The Orediggers (15-1, 14-1 RMAC) will be the RMAC Tournament's #2 seed and will host a quarterfinal on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. against seventh-seeded South Dakota Mines.

Four Mines players scored in double figures led by Brendan Sullivan's 19, while Michael Glen poured in 16 and Austin Means and Kobi Betts had 13 each.

David Simental's 21 points led all scorers for CSU Pueblo, with Lian Ramiro scoring 17. The Pack end their season at 3-15.

Mines shot .667 in the second half after toughing out a first period where their looks simply wouldn't fall. CSU Pueblo led by as much as six in the first half, but Mines clamped down at the end to hold the Thunderwolves without a field goal over the final 5:04, ending the first on a 9-1 run to take a 28-26 lead.

The Thunderwolves kept it close early in the second half until Sullivan's four-point play at the 16:13 mark broke the game open. That sparked an 8-2 run to give Mines a seven-point lead, and another 9-0 stretch moments later cemented the advantage for good. Mines never led by less than 11 after that, hitting their largest lead of the game at 16 after Betts drilled a three-pointer with 4:28 to go.
