Box Score By Kevin Farr
Murray State Sports Information
It was a three-point barrage for the Murray State Aggies Monday night in Altus as they drained 15 treys as nearly every player in uniform scored in a 78-67 win over Western State College in the regular season finale.

The Aggies canned five treys while claiming an 38-35 halftime edge, but saved the best for last as 30 of their 40 second half points came on long-range bombs to fuel the victory.

A.J. Richard pumped in 15, hitting three three-pointers, as Jackson Lawley also reached double figures with 12 as he sank four treys.

Cordrayius Graham and Freddie Cooper notched nine points apiece, T.J. Gardner scored eight, Kameron Johnson had seven, Ridley Shema and K.J. Boone contributed six each, Kyle Tolbert added five with Jaelen Tucker adding one.

Murray State improved to 12-18 on the season and will return to action in the NJCAA Region 2 tournament at Muskogee on Wednesday, March 8.
