Press Release Summary = Former Indiana Hoosier Cem Dinc goes off for 25 points and
12 rebounds to pace the Marshalltown Tigers to an 82-77 win over the Iowa Lakes
Lakers

Press Release Body = (Bloomington, Ind.). Former Hoosier Cem Dinc, who was told to
\"go rock JUCO\" by Indiana Coach Kelvin Sampson, is doing just that. The 6-10, 250
pound center racked up his second double-double in only his third game back playing
college ball as the Marshalltown Tigers eeked out an 82-77 road win over the Iowa
Lakes Lakers Wednesday night. Dinc poured in 25 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in
the win. He blocked two shots as well.

\"It was an important win for our team,\" Dinc said, \"it evened our league record and
gave Coach Brynjarrsson his first conference win as head coach here. We were really
happy to get it for him.\" Dinc was 11-15 from the field and 3-4 from the line.
He\'s averaging 15.3 points per game and 11.3 rebounds per contest.

Dinc was already on some big-time college coaches\' radar screens after leaving
Indiana. His numbers thus far show he\'s more than a blip. Although Dinc declines
to name a favorite among the teams offering him a scholarship next season, he\'s
drawing intense interest from Iowa State Cyclone Coach Greg McDermott who is looking
to add size and strength to his roster next year. \"We\'re good buddies,\" says Dinc,
\"and, who knows, I might wind up there, but I really want to make sure wherever I go
it\'s a good fit for the team and me.\"

I can think of one other team off the top of my head that could use a strong,
athletic kid with good grades, three years of college eligibility and a willingness
to bang bodies on the boards. Take a guess.
