EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Ryan Taylor and Jaylon Brown each matches their career highs in scoring as the University of Evansville men's basketball team picked up an 82-59 victory over Alcorn State on Monday night at the Ford Center.

"I like how we bounced back from the other night," UE head coach Marty Simmons said. "Once our guys settled down, I thought we did a nice job defensively. Overall, I think our staff is pleased. Everyone who played did something positive and we have to build on that."

Taylor hit five of his seven attempts, four triples and seven free throws to match his mark of 21, which came in his freshman season at Ohio University against Appalachian State.
