COLUMBIA, Tennessee -- A pair of former Columbia State teammates are
back on the court again together, this season for North Carolina A & T.

Bryan Akinbugbe, a member of the 2012 Columbia State team that went to the nationals, and Arturs Bremers, who was on the 2014 team that advance to the nationals, are playing for their former junior college coaches.

Jay Joyner, who was the coach at Columbia State, is the associate head coach under Cy Alexander at A & T. Alexander is a former coach both at Tennessee State and South Carolina State. Alexander also assisted Joyner at Columbia State.

In their most recent game, A & T defeated Cal State-Bakersfield 83-70 as Bremers made all four of his 3-point attempts and was a perfect 6-of-6 from the charity stripe.

In addition to his team-high 18 points, the 6-foot-3 Bremers had six rebounds, one assist and one steal. He is second on the team in scoring with 7.8 points per game and is shooting 86.7 percent from the foul line.
