Senior point guard Craig Porter Jr. scored a career high of 22 points scored in a single game against Central Arkansas.

The men’s team beat the Bears 79-55 on Nov. 7 at home.

Porter said his success against Central Arkansas had to do with setting the pace of the game early. He said strong defense, being smart with the basketball and opportunities to drive to the basket helped.

“I know my team is going to rely on me a lot, so any way I can get off to a good start,” Porter said. “Sometimes, we tend to get off to a slow start, so really any way I can get us off to that good start that’s what I tend to want to do.
