The Murray State College Men's Basketball Team took the court looking to remain
undefeated in regional play versus Northern Oklahoma College-Enid. The Jets had won five of their last six
games including four straight on their home court.
The Aggies pulled ahead early, dominating the Jets behind the three-point line on their way to a 10-point
halftime lead. Murray State continued to build a lead in the second half thanks to their freshman duo of Kobe
Burgess and
Jaylan Thomas, who each finished with a game high of 16 points. In the end, the Aggies, who
shot 43 percent from behind the three-point line compared to NOC-Enid's 19 percent, won the game 83 to 72.
Burgess was a perfect six-for-six from the field, including three-for-three from behind the three-point line.
The win improves the Aggies record to seven wins and zero losses in regional play and 16 and three overall.
Next, the Aggie men welcome Connors State College to Beames Fieldhouse Monday, January 27
at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. The Connors men's team comes into the game averaging 95 points per game and with 16
wins and five losses this season.
