A four-win Huston-Tillotson battled to a halftime tie before the Louisiana Christian men’s basketball team posted 49 second-half points and notched its sixth consecutive Red River Athletic Conference victory Saturday, a 74-57 triumph at H.O. West Fieldhouse.

The offense made at least half of its shots for the second time this year, both occurring during the current win streak by going 26-for-52 (50 percent) while the defense posted its lowest field goal percentage defense of 2024-25, limiting the visitors to just 19-of-56 (33.9 percent) and only six assists.

LCU drew even overall this season and moved two games over .500 in RRAC play  (9-9, 8-6 Red River) while completing a season sweep of the visitors (4-13, 4-11).

Devin Carter was channeling his inner Steph Curry with his three triples all coming with either the shot clock winding down or from way past NBA range, topping all scorers at 18 points.

Jon’Quarius McGhee registered 11 points and an LCU-high eight boards. Bryce Weinmunson set a season-best regarding rebounds with eight, plus a solid 11 points.

Joseph Holloway was the third player for the Orange and Blue with exactly 11 points.

LCU WOMEN 83, HUSTON-TILLOTSON 68:  The Wildcats visited the charity stripe early and often Saturday afternoon, using freebies to pull away late for their third win in the last four games.

The women from “The Hill” made 31-of-40 (77.5 percent) free throw attempts, their most makes over the past nine years, while drawing 23 personal fouls.

LCU (6-10, 6-8 RRAC)  has found its offensive groove as the calendar flipped to 2025 as its top three scoring days have come in the past week.  Huston-Tillotson slipped to 8-10, 7-8.

Princis Goff took full advantage of the Rams’ strategy that could best be described as “Hack-a-Princis”, getting to the line 19 times and sinking 17 of those for a superb 89.5 free throw percentage. She ended the afternoon with a game-high 25 points. Goff became the first LCU women’s player since NCAA Division III All-American Tillisha Givens in 2010 to knock down at least 15 free throws in a single game.

Kylei Leblanc exploded for both 12 points and rebounds for her third consecutive double-double. Deja Tanks went 8-for-8 at the line and posted 12 points. 

McKayla Price was the fifth Wildcat and third among the starters to hit double-figures on the scoreboard, putting together a 7-for-11 (63.6%), 14-point showing.

In their next games, both LCU teams play host to LSUA Thursday night.
