PORTALES, N.M. - Oklahoma Christian shot 25.0 percent (7-of-28) in Saturday's second half while Eastern New Mexico shot 50.0 percent (12-of-24) over the same stretch as OC fell to the Greyhounds, 80-59.

For the game's duration, the Eagles were out-shot, 54.7 percent (29-of-53) to 33.9 percent (20-of-59) as ENMU held OC to just 25 second-half points for the 21-point victory.

Carson Jones (18) and Miles Gibson (17) combined to score 35 of the maroon-and-gray's 59 points while shooting a combined 6-of-13 (46.2 percent) from beyond the arc. First-year Eagle Ma'Syn Howell scored a season-high 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting.

Oklahoma Christian's Jason Clark picked up two fouls within the game's first two and a half minutes, forcing head coach Kendre Talley to go to his bench early. The early edge allowed Eastern New Mexico to open a 9-2 lead before Jones shot OC into the lead at the 12:50 mark, 15-14.

The Greyhounds retook the lead, though the Eagles kept it close for the first 16 minutes before ENMU closed the half on a 12-4 run to take an 11-point, 45-34 advantage into the locker room.

One field goal from the maroon-and-gray in the first six minutes of second-half action had Eastern New Mexico post an 18-point lead with 13:51 on the clock. Inconsistent offense from OC allowed ENMU to grow its lead until the final buzzer, 80-59.

Oklahoma Christian (4-3, 0-2 LSC) will now return to the Payne Athletic Center for its conference home opener Thursday, Dec. 11 against No. 4 Lubbock Christian at 7:30 p.m. before hosting Midwestern State Saturday, Dec. 13 at 3 p.m.
