Box Score

BETHANY, Okla. — The ball continues to bounce the way of Southern Nazarene as SNU won its seventh straight game and 11th in 12 games with a 93-75 win over St. Gregory's, Thursday night inside the Sawyer Center.

C.J. Henry hit a career-high six 3-pointers for the 12th-ranked Crimson Storm (17-3 10-2 SAC), going 9-for-13 from the field and 6-for-10 from beyond the arc as he scored his second-highest point total this season with 24.

Jon West also had a hot hand, shooting 7-for-10 from the field and hit four of his five attempts from the free throw line as he totaled 18 points for the third time this season. He also grabbed five rebounds. A.J. Thomas hit a trio of treys as he scored 15 and handed out five assists while Horace McGloster was just two rebounds short of a double-double with 14 points and eight boards.

SNU shot a blistering 55.4 percent (36-65) from the field and hit a season-high 11 3-pointers while firing their highest percentage from beyond the arc this year as well. SNU went 11-for-26 from downtown.

The Storm bullied the Cavaliers (5-12, 2-11 SAC) on the offensive glass as SNU pulled down 14 of its 37 rebounds on the offensive end and scored 21 points off those second chances. The Storm's depth also showed up SGU's bench as SNU's reserves scored 31 points compared to just three from St. Gregory's.

Despite taking just two leads in the game, the Cavaliers never were out of the game until late. SGU trailed 45-31 at halftime after SNU closed on a 13-5 run and stretched it out to a 15-point lead early in the second on a 3-pointer by Thomas. SGU though cut it to 51-43 with 17:11 left and were within single digits at 58-49 and 67-58, before the Storm put it to bed with one final run.

West started the 16-2 run with a pair of free throws before McGloster ended it with two more makes from the line. That gave SNU its biggest lead of 23, at 85-62, with 4:22 remaining and the Storm put it on cruise control the rest of the way.

The Storm now get set for a rematch with No. 9 Oklahoma Baptist, set for Saturday at 8 p.m. inside the Noble Complex. The Bison knocked off the Crimson Storm to start the conference season inside the Sawyer Center earlier in the year.
