Miller started the game on fire, hitting a layup off the tip, an old-fashioned three-point play and a trey on the Scots' first three possessions. A few moments later, he swished three-pointers on three straight trips down the court to stake the Scots to a 23-8 lead. In seven minutes, he had scored 17 points, but that would be the extent of his first-half production, and Beloit eventually cut the halftime spread to 43-37.
Murren opened the second half with two putback hoops, but where he really came through was on the other end, blocking seven shots and altering a half dozen others. He also grabbed a team-high seven rebounds and had two steals. Monmouth led by double digits for all but one possession of the final 18 minutes.
The Scots' backcourt of Miller, Chris Hebeler and Anthony Beaird scored 27, 21 and 18 points, respectively, as Monmouth pulled even at 9-9 overall and 6-6 in the Midwest Conference.
Josh Hinz led the Bucs with 20 points and nine rebounds.
