OKWU Wins High Scoring Battle Over Spurgeon
Oklahoma Wesleyan basketball won their highest scoring game this season on Monday night over Spurgeon College.
The Eagles outlasted the Knights, 127-106.
In a game that saw lots of speed on both ends of the floor, both offenses got off to a quick start. In a back-and-forth first half, the Eagles didn't start to pull away until later in the frame. This Ethan William three-pointer put the Eagles up by six.
Williams finished with 15 points and five assists.
OKWU led at halftime, 67-54.
The Eagles put up 60 more points in the second half, stretching the lead as large as 25 in the final six minutes. This alley-oop from Jaden Wilson to Tamaje Izuagbe pushed the lead to 18 early in the second half.
Izuagbe finished with 35 points. Five Eagles were in double-figures including Wilson with 12. Yashi McKenzie finished with 16 points and 10 assists.
The Eagles will be back in action for another Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference doubleheader on Wednesday evening against the University of Saint Mary.
The Lady Eagles will get the evening started at 5:30 p.m. with the men to follow around 7:30. Both games can be heard on Sports Talk, 99.1 FM - KPGM.
