Cameron dialed in from long distance in 91-64 win over MSU

THE RUNDOWN
LAWTON, Okla. — Cameron shot the lights out Tuesday night at Aggie Gym thumping Midwestern State 91-64 in the regular season finale.

The loss puts a serious dent in MSU's Lone Star Conference Postseason Tournament hopes, too. The Mustangs now need either Angelo State to defeat Eastern New Mexico or have the Rams drop both games this week to qualify for next week's tournament.

Cameron completed a season sweep of the Mustangs for the first time since 1990 handing MSU its largest loss since falling 81-52 at West Texas A&M on Jan. 20, 2005. It was CU's largest margin of victory over Midwestern since beating the then-Indians 115-76 (39 points) on Feb. 20, 1980 on the way to winning an NAIA national championship.

The Aggies did it with efficiency shooting 54.4 percent from the floor with 12 3-pointers as they scored on 39 of 69 possessions steadily creeping away for the 27-point victory.

Midwestern continued its trend of holding a lead in every game this season, but it was very brief.

B.J. Jenkins, who finished with a team-high 18 points, connected on the first of his four 3-pointers 57 seconds in to the contest to give the Mustangs a 3-2 lead.

Cameron senior Trey Hall answered with one of his seven triples to give Cameron the lead for good 26 seconds later on his way to a game-high 23 points. The Aggies led by as many as 16 points in the first half and extended to lead to 28 late in the second half.

Cameron sophomore guard J.V. Long approached a triple-double with 20 points, eight rebounds and assists while Tyus Momoh (12 points, 4 rebounds) and Jalen Nicholas (10 points) chipped in double-figure efforts.

Magnus Richards added 17 points and seven rebounds for the Mustangs, who fell to 14-13 on the season and 7-11 in Lone Star Conference play.

Cameron improved to 17-11 and 10-8.

NOTES
- Junior guard B.J. Jenkins delivered his third double-figure effort of the season going for 18 points with four 3-pointers to raise his season average to 9.0 points per game.
- Senior forward Magnus Richards scored in double for the second consecutive game and or the 13th time this season with 17 points and seven rebounds.
- The loss was Midwestern State's largest of the season as the Mustangs lost by 10-or-more points for just the second time this season. MSU's average margin of defeat over its first 12 setbacks was six points.
- It was just the second time the Mustangs didn't have a lead or tie the game in the second half this season.
- It was Midwestern's second lowest scoring output of the season. The Mustangs lost 72-61 earlier this season at Texas A&M-Commerce.

STAT OF THE GAME
7-of-9 — Cameron senior Trey Hall buried seven 3-pointers on nine shots which were one more than teammate Delvonte Pierre had against the Mustangs earlier this season at D.L. Ligon Coliseum.

NEXT UP
Two scenarios allow Midwestern State to advance to next week's Lone Star Conference Postseason Tournament at the Allen Event center. The Mustangs need either Angelo State to defeat Eastern New Mexico Thursday in Portales or have the Rams lose twice this week — at ENMU and Western New Mexico.
