McMurry 101, LeTourneau 70

ABILENE, Texas — McMurry University crushed previously unbeaten LeTourneau 101-70 in an early season battle of American Southwest Conference men's basketball division leaders on Thursday at Kimbrell Arena, the conference home opener for the Indians. The visiting Yellow Jackets lost their first game in four starts and fell to 2-1 in the ASC East Division. McMurry (4-1) has won four straight and remain atop the ASC-West standings with a 3-0 division mark.

McMurry was led by its starting backcourt as J.R. Williams and Tee Jay Void each had 14 points, and combined for 10-of-14 field goal shooting. Williams also dished a game-high nine assists.

The Indians made 20 of 36 shots from the floor for 55.6 percent, taking a 52-28 lead into the intermission of a game they never trailed.

Reese Lantrip came off the bench to lead the 'Jackets with 12 points, followed in the scoring column by Dewones Smith (11), Travis Bankett (10) and Jay Burnett.

McMurry made 13 of 35 3-point attempts, just three and one shy of tying single-game school records for those categories. But the Indians did force 34 turnovers for 17 steals, both season's bests.
