SAN ANGELO – The Angelo State men's basketball team returned to the win column on Thursday evening with an 80-71 win over Cameron inside the Junell Center – Stephens Arena.

The Rams shot 51 percent from the field and 57.9 percent from three; the Rams' hot shooting started from the jump, with the Rams making four of their first five shots, all from three, to pull out a 12-2 lead on the Aggies.

The Aggies hit a last-second shot to enter halftime with a 32-31 lead and would expand their lead to as much as six points early in the second half; however, the Rams responded with a 13-2 run to take a five-point lead, which they held onto for the remainder of the contest.

Keyshawn Embery-Simpson led all players with 28 points on 9-of-15 shooting from the field; the graduate student guard converted on five of his six attempts from three-point range.

Kevon Godwin scored 19 points on 7-of-13 shooting and 4-of-8 from deep; the senior also nabbed six steals on the defensive end.

His 19 points see him pass Johnny Spriggs for 12^th all-time on the ASU career scoring list. Now at 1,028 career points, Godwin needs another 19 points on Saturday to pass David Milburn for 11^th on the career scoring list.

Willie Guy turned in a complete, all-around performance with 17 points on 4-of-8 shooting, making two of his three attempts from three-point range. Guy led the Rams with eight rebounds and six assists as well.

The Rams improve to 16-8 on the season and 11-7 in conference play; they play their home finale on Saturday against Midwestern State, who are coming off a close loss to UT Permian Basin this evening.
