MOREHEAD, Ky. – A 18-5 second-half run by the Morehead State men's basketball team separated the host Eagles en route to a 103-56 victory over NAIA in-state foe Alice Lloyd on Thursday at Johnson Arena.
 
Morehead State stayed perfect at home (2-0) and moved to 2-5 on the season, while the ALC Eagles slipped to 7-2.
 
"We started to wear them down in the second half, but give them credit. Alice Lloyd has a good team that will win a lot of games in their league," said head coach Preston Spradlin. "We still came out a little flat tonight, and we're seven games in and still doing that, so that needs to be addressed. But I thought we got on the boards and shared the ball well in the second half."
 
Sophomore guard Djimon Henson registered a career-high 23 points on the strength of an 8-for-10 night shooting and a trio of triples. He was one of five Eagles in double figures as junior forward Lamontray Harris notched his first double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds. Morehead State held a lopsided rebounding edge, 62-18.
 
Sophomore guard Jordan Walker added 14 points and a career-best seven assists, while freshman forward Malek Green turned in 12 markers. Junior guard Trell Thompson got into the act with 10 points.
 
Alice Lloyd kept the game close in the opening half before Morehead State grabbed a 46-34 lead at the break. But, the home team pushed a 49-34 lead to 67-39 following Harris' fast-break dunk at 13:40. MSU went on to lead by as many as 47.
 
Morehead State also handed out a season-high 26 assists and shot 57 percent (38-of-67) from the field. MSU also hit 17-of-21 from the free throw line and held ALC to 0-for-10 from three-point range in the second half when it outscored its foe 57-22.
 
The Eagles will travel to Northern Kentucky for a 7 p.m. ET Saturday night contest.
