“We really focused on moving the ball and finding the open man,” a team spokesperson stated. “Josiah did a great job of facilitating and taking smart shots when they presented themselves.”
Offensive Firepower and Bench Production
Morehead State’s offense was relentless, shooting an impressive 60 percent (44-of-74) from the field and connecting on a season-high 14 three-pointers. Seven different Eagles contributed from beyond the arc, highlighting the team’s balanced attack. The Eagles’ bench proved to be a significant factor, contributing a remarkable 65 points – just one shy of their season high for non-starters.

The Eagles dominated the boards, out-rebounding Alice Lloyd 48-25, with Tamaury Releford leading the team with nine rebounds.
Early Challenge and Second-Half Surge
Despite an early lead by Alice Lloyd, who went up 13-8 with 15:43 remaining in the first period, Morehead State quickly responded. LeGree’s three-pointer at the 13:07 mark gave the Eagles a 21-18 lead, a lead they would never relinquish.
Alice Lloyd Struggles Against Eagles’ Dominance
Evin Eversole, the center for Alice Lloyd, was the lone bright spot for his team, achieving a double-double with 11 points and 13 rebounds. However, it wasn’t enough to counter Morehead State’s overwhelming offensive power. Three other Alice Lloyd players also finished with 11 points apiece.
Looking Ahead for Morehead State
Morehead State concluded its non-conference schedule with a 4-7 record but has gained momentum with wins in its first two Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) games, bringing their overall record to 6-7. The team now looks ahead to the bulk of the conference season, aiming to build on this dominant performance. LeGree’s six three-pointers tied him for third most in an Eagle game since the 2011-12 season, signaling a potential turning point for the team’s offensive capabilities.
