Reddie Men Downed By Hot Shooting Crimson Storm

BETHANY, Okla. – Everything was falling for Southern Nazarene Saturday afternoon as the Henderson State men's basketball program split its first Oklahoma road trip of the season to the tune of 70-48 from inside the Sawyer Center in Bethany, Oklahoma.
 
The Crimson Storm finished the game shooting a staggering 52.6 percent (10-19) from beyond the arc and 51.3 percent from the field. On the contrary, Henderson shot just 16.7 percent (2-12) from three, including missing all seven of its tries in the first half, and 39.1 percent (18-46) from the field. 

Franck Kamgain secured his tenth consecutive double-digit scoring outing, finishing the contest with 10 points. Tomislav Miholjcic matched Kamgain's output with 10 points of his own on a perfect 5-for-5 shooting night.

Henderson St. (7-5, 4-2) will return to the Natural State where its next opponent will be Northwestern Oklahoma St. Thursday, Jan. 12 at 7:30 p.m. The Reddies will follow that with Southwestern Oklahoma St. from inside the Duke Wells Center Saturday, Jan. 14 at 3 p.m.
 
Miholjcic helped the Reddies start out fast with two quick buckets to put HSU ahead 4-0. Following that was two quick fouls for the Serbian big man, which relegated him to the bench for a large part of the opening half. Southern Nazarene took advantage of the absence, going on a 12-0 run to open up the game.
 
In addition to Henderson being forced to play shorthanded, the Crimson Storm started hitting from deep, going 4-of-7 from beyond the arc within the first nine minutes of game time to establish an 18-6 lead. Three of those came from back-up point guard Eain Mowat.
 
After the onslaught of rapid-fire triples wore off slightly, HSU rattled off six consecutive to bring the deficit to single digits, 25-16, before SNU was off and running again. With six minutes until halftime, Henderson managed just one more field-goal while Southern Nazarene closed the stanza scoring 11 of half's final 16 points to head to the locker ahead 36-21.

The second half started similarly to how the first half came and went, with the Crimson Storm knocking down a three-pointer two minutes into second-half action to continue expanding its lead to 18, 39-21. The lead grew to as much as 24 deep into the game as part of SNU's wire-to-wire performance. Five points from Henderson's Kamgain over the final minute and a half kept his double-digit scoring streak alive and cut the final deficit to 22, 70-48.
