Box Score CLAREMORE, Okla. (Jan. 22, 2015) – There really wasn't much Oklahoma Christian men's basketball coach Dan Hays, or anyone associated with the Eagles, could say about what happened at the Claremore Expo Center on Thursday night.

A hot-shooting Rogers State squad also played lockdown defense and the result for OC was not pleasant, as the Hillcats cruised to an 86-46 win.

"Nothing went right," Hays said. "They were just superior in every phase of the game. It didn't matter what we tried – it just didn't work. We were inept offensively. We were in good defensive position a lot of the time, but they were really sharp varying shots and when they did miss, they're such a good rebounding team they annihilated us on the offensive glass.

"We didn't have an answer for anything they did."

Rogers State (11-6, 5-4 Heartland Conference) hit 51.7 percent from the field and tied its season high by hitting 13 3-pointers in 23 attempts, a 56.5-percent clip. Seven Hillcats hit at least one 3-pointer, led by Donald Moore (4-of-6) and J.C. Hartzler (4-of-7). The Hillcats posted a 41-24 edge in rebounding, grabbing 15 offensive boards.

On defense, they successfully limited the touches for the Eagles' leading scorer, center John Moon, and fouled him often, forcing him to score from the free-throw line. He went 10-of-16 from the line – taking two more free throws than all the Hillcats combined – and finished with 16 points and seven rebounds despite battling foul trouble most of the game.

But no other OC player reached double figures in scoring. Eric Randall came closest, finishing with eight points. OC (3-12, 1-8) shot 30.2 percent from the field (13 of 43) in posting its lowest-scoring game since a 60-45 loss to John Brown (Ark.) on Feb. 9, 2012.

Meanwhile the Hillcats had four reach double figures in scoring and two do so in rebounding. Moore had 18 points and Hartzler 17 to lead the way. Frederico Santos had 10 points to go with 13 rebounds, Jordan Huffman scored 10 points and Cory Ayala added 10 rebounds and six points.

With the score tied 6-6 six minutes into the game, the Hillcats went on a 13-0 run to take control and never really looked back. They led 35-17 at halftime and gradually stretched their advantage throughout the second half.

It was OC's most lopsided loss since falling 90-42 to Oklahoma City University in January 1993. That OC squad bounced back later that season to beat OCU and Hays has challenged this season's team to follow a similar path.

"We will see how we respond," he said.

The Eagles will have their first chance to do so on Saturday afternoon, when they visit Arkansas-Fort Smith.
