Freshman Micheal Morris also notched double figures with 10 points and added a game-high five assists.

“It was good to welcome back Brian Greene,” said head coach Dale Layer. “This is the best we’ve played so far. Turnovers were more controlled in the second half and Ronnie Clark played the best game of his career so far.”
