BETHANY, Okla. — No. 14 Southern Nazarene hit every single free throw, but the last one and needed all 12 free throws as SNU outlasted Lubbock Christian for a 68-64 win.

The Crimson Storm (17-5, 11-13 SAC) came into the week in a tie for third place in the Sooner Athletic Conference, but after two wins and two losses by USAO to the same two team, SNU now has a two-game lead in third place.

SNU needed every free throw because Lubbock Christian was 19-for-20 at the free throw line. LCU led 61-57 with 2:54 left to play when Adrian Hunter, but a Chaparrals free throw put LCU up 62-59. Jon West brought SNU within one with a bucket in the paint and then hit two from the line to give the Storm since 12:36 left to play.

The Storm forced an errant three before Daniel White hit a pair of free throws to go up three. White again pulled down a rebound on a missed LCU shot late and hit two more free throws to put SNU up 67-62 with nine seconds left. The Chaps hit their first field goal in over three minutes when an uncontested layup with four seconds left to make it 67-64, but Hunter put it away with the final free throw with two seconds left.

The win is the Storm's fifth in sixth games and second in-a-row.

West finished the day with a team-high 14 points and four rebounds as he went 5-for-8 from the field and 2-for-2 from 3-point range. Those 14 points pushed him over 1,000 points for his career as he becomes the 34th player in school history to score 1,000 points in his career. He was also 2-for-2 from the charity stripe. White dropped in 12 points with eight coming from the line. The senior hit six of those free throws down the stretch.

Tyrone Lyons and Horace McGloster combined for 21 points as Lyons had 11 and McGloster had 10. Lyons chipped in five rebounds while McGloster had four.

The Storm fired 52 percent from the field, shooting 26-for-50 from the field. The Storm also dropped 34 points in the paint and gave up just 22 in the lane from LCU.

The Crimson Storm will now go from West Texas to West Arkansas as it will play at John Brown, Thursday, at 8 p.m.
