Dynamic Duo: Binetti, Bremerman Make Men's Basketball All Region Team
March 9, 2006

SEATTLE (Mar. 9) ­ Tony Binetti and Dustin Bremerman, the most prolific scoring tandem in Seattle Pacific University history, have both been named the Daktronics all-West Region team for men's basketball.

Binetti (Sr., 6-1, Enumclaw, Wa.) who was voted the Great Northwest Athletic Conference player of the year earlier in the week, made the first team. Bremerman (Jr., 6-4, Yakima, Wa./Eisenhower) was selected to the second team.

Binetti averaged 18.5 points and 5.2 assists, plus 2.0 steals during the regular season. He converted 57.4 percent of his field goals, including 48.2 percent on three-pointers.

Bremerman is averaging 19.2 points and ranks sixth in NCAA Division II three-point shooting accuracy (.465). He's also the team's No. 2 rebounder (5.3).

The last time two SPU players made the regional team in the same season was 1996 with Warren King and Emile Shephard.

Seattle Pacific (22-5) hosts the West Regional tournament beginning Friday when it faces Central Washington at 7:30. All games will be played in Brougham Pavilion.

Grant Dykstra of Western Washington was the lone repeater from last year's team. Completing the first team were Austin Smylie of BYU-Hawaii, Western Washington's Ryan Diggs and J.T. Tipton of Sonoma State completed the first team. Tipton was a second team pick a year ago.

The team is selected by the sports information directors at the region's schools that sponsor men's basketball and includes teams, which compete in the California Collegiate Athletic Association, the PacWest Conference and the Great Northwest Athletic Conference plus independent Grand Canyon.
