ROCHESTER — The Rochester Community and Technical College men's basketball team used a big second half to come away with a victory Friday night in Rochester. Brandon Wilson scored 23 points as RCTC outscored Vermilion Community College by 17 in the after halftime to come away with a 97-74 win at the Rochester Regional Sports Center. Wilson (Green Bay, Wisc.) paced an offense that shot 68% in the second half to overcome a "sluggish" first half, as the Yellowjackets improved to 3-2 overall on the season and 1-0 in the Minnesota College Athletic Conference. Sophomore guard Carson Brown (Hibbing, Minn.) had 19 points, five rebounds and seven assists in a solid outing as well for the Yellowjackets. John Johnson (Brooklyn Park, Minn.) had 16 points and four rebounds, while Sam Hemerery (Green Bay, Wis.) registered 15 points and six rebounds. RCTC is back in action at 2 p.m. Saturday, hosting Mesabi Range. ]]>
