The Bakersfield College men's basketball clinched its first out-right league title since 1998 with a 82-57 thrashing of West LA College at the Gil Bishop Sports Center on Wednesday night.

Deandre Dickson had had 22 points and 17 rebounds and Jameik Rivière flirted with a triple-double, recording 15 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists.

BC (22-5, 11-2 WSC) held the Wildcats (10-14, 3-10 WSC) to 1 of 17 shooting from the field to start the game and pulled out to a 28-7 lead midway through the first half.

The Western State Conference-South champs led by as many as 33 points in the second half.

"It's great," BC coach Rich Hughes said. "A lot of hard work. We really played well in the game. It was really never a game except for early on. I guys really responded. That was one of the things I was worried about, that the pressure of winning it outright. And they came out and just played really well."

Lawrence Moore and Nick Velasquez chipped in 14 points apiece for the BC, which improved to 10-0 at home.

BC's final regular season game is on Saturday at Santa Monica College.

Ovie Tomakili led West LA in scoring with 14 points. The Wildcats shot 25-percent (18 of 72) from the field for the game.

BC shot 50.8-percent (33 of 65) from the floor.

Dickson was 11 of 15 from the field and had five blocked shots.

Rivière, the state leader in assists per game, nailed 6 of 11 shots from the floor and was 3 of 4 from the free throw line.
