Lubbock, Texas – Despite a Herculean offensive effort that saw graduate student guard Keyshawn Embery-Simpson set a new career-high with 36 points, the Angelo State men's basketball team dropped their second successive game this afternoon inside the Rip Griffin Center to Lubbock Christian, 93-89.

Embery-Simpson's 36 points are the most for a Ram in a single game since Collin Turner scored 47 points for the Rams on March 6^th, 2020, with that also coming against the Chaps.

The Oklahoman's 36 points came in 37 minutes of action, where he shot 12-for-20 from the field and 7-for-13 from three-point range. He converted five of his six attempts from the charity stripe.

As a team, the Rams shot 53.2 percent from the field and 45.5 percent from three. The Rams only committed four turnovers, a season-best, as they scored 15 points off the Chaps' seven turnovers.

In a tight back-and-forth battle for all 40 minutes, the two teams were tied eight times as the lead switched hands 21 times.

Embery-Simpson was joined by a trio of teammates – Kendrick Delahoussaye, Kevon Godwin, and Carvell Teasett – in double digits, with the trio combining for 37 points.

Delahoussaye scored 14 points, a new personal best for the Louisiana native in the Blue and Gold. He only had one miss from the field and joint-led the team with five assists.

Godwin had 12 points on four made three-pointers, also assisting five times. Teasett had 11 points, going 4-for-7 from the field and 3-for-6 from three.

Trey Farrer had eight points and eight rebounds, also blocking a shot, and Willie Guy had five points and led the team with two steals.

The Rams are 12-3 on the season and 7-2 in LSC play. They continue their road trip next weekend when they travel to Wichita Falls to take on Midwestern State on Thursday.
