SAN ANGELO – The No. 22-ranked Angelo State basketball team had five players score in double-figures and established a new program record with its 10th consecutive win by earning a 107-91 non-conference victory over Oklahoma Wesleyan on Tuesday at the Junell Center.

The Rams (10-0) shot 72.4 percent in the second half and 61.9 percent throughout the game to reach 100 points for the first time this season and for the first time since scoring 102 in a win over Northwood last season. Despite the 16-point win, ASU trailed 46-45 at halftime following an impressive shooting performance by the Eagles (9-6) who hit eight 3-pointers in the first half and went 6-for-6 from the free-throw line.

"The message at halftime was for us to stay the course," ASU head coach Chris Beard said. "We knew that Oklahoma Wesleyan was a good team and that they have really good shooters in every spot on the court. We made some small adjustments with their ball screen, but for the most part we just tried to execute the game plan that we had set up originally."

Kenny Williams led Angelo State with 23 points and missed out on his sixth double-double of the season by one rebound as he finished with nine on a day where he was named the Lone Star Conference's Defensive Player of the Week. Bryan Hammond added 16 points, while Daniel Skinner led the team with five assists and two blocks to go along with scoring 14 points. Chantz Chambers and Chris Talkington both scored 12 points off the bench with Zach Jones adding eight points in 15 minutes of play. Reggie Sutton finished with seven points and five rebounds.

"We were doing a good job cutting and screening," Beard said. "I thought our shot selection was really good today. We had individual players turning down pretty good shots early in the clock to get great shots later in the possession. I was proud of us only having eight turnovers because that allowed us to stay in the game when our defense was struggling."

ASU had a 13-8 turnover advantage and outrebounded the Eagles 38-27 in the game. ASU hit six 3-pointers on 12 attempts and made 23 free throws (65.7 percent). The 107 points are the most in a non-overtime game since the Rams scored 116 in a win over Rhema Bible on Nov. 17, 2004.

Angelo State took a 48-46 lead 29 seconds into the second half when Skinner hit a layup and then a free throw to start a 5-0 run to start the final 20 minutes and give the Rams a lead they wouldn't surrender the rest of the game. ASU would go up 63-55 on a Williams jumper with 14:05 remaining and then had a 79-68 lead when Chambers hit a jumper with 8:32 to play. The shot by Chambers capped a 10-point surge the freshman gave the Rams off the bench in a two-minute spurt. ASU was up 88-70 on a Talkington 3-pointer with six minutes to play and the game wouldn't see a single-digit margin the rest of the way.

Devin Harris led OKWU with 31 points, while Tyler Woods scored 23 points on five 3-pointers and also secured six rebounds.  The Eagles finished the game shooting 13 of 27 (48.1 percent) on 3-pointers and 49.2 percent from the field.

Williams led the Rams with 15 points and six rebounds at halftime, while Hammond had eight points and Gudul six. ASU shot 52.9 percent from the field, but saw OWKU light up the Junell Center with at 61.5 percent from the field which included hitting 8 of 13 (61.5 percent) from beyond the arc. Woods led the Eagles with 16 points in the first half with four 3-pointers and Harris added 10 points and four rebounds. OKWU also went 6-for-6 from the free-throw line with the Rams shooting 6 of 12 on their free throws.

The Rams held a 28-14 advantage in the paint in the first 20 minutes of play and were up 8-2 on points off turnovers. ASU held a 5-0 early advantage on a Williams layup and 3-pointer, but the Eagles took an 8-7 lead highlighted by two Woods 3-pointers. OKWU led 23-17 with 10 minutes to play on a Phillip Jahn jumper and 28-22 on another Woods 3-pointer before the Rams started chipping away to tighten the game and eventually tie it at 35-35 with 5:04 to play in the first half on a pair of Hammond free throws. ASU had a 45-44 lead on two free throws from Sutton with 9 seconds, but OKWU went to the locker room at halftime with a 46-45 lead on a buzzer-beater dunk from Jahn.
