ABILENE, Texas – The Concordia Texas men's basketball team continued its strong SCAC run with a 102–91 road win over McMurry on Friday evening inside Kimbrell Arena. The Tornados shot a blistering 57 percent from the field and piled up 70 points in the paint, using their trademark pace and depth to pull away in the second half.

After a back‑and‑forth first half that saw five ties and both teams trading scoring bursts, CTX entered the break up 50–49. From there, the Tornados tightened their defensive pressure and turned stops into transition opportunities, outscoring the War Hawks 52–42 over the final 20 minutes.

Senior guard Joey Ramirez delivered another efficient scoring night, finishing with 25 points on 11–14 shooting, adding 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals. Anariss Brandon continued his strong play with 18 points and 6 rebounds, attacking the rim and sparking multiple fast‑break runs.

The CTX bench once again made a major impact, contributing 38 points. Percy Green dominated the interior with a 16‑point, 13‑rebound double‑double, while Tremayne Martin added 10 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 steals in 16 high‑energy minutes. Jaiden Gastile chipped in 11 points.

Concordia's defensive pressure proved decisive, forcing 21 McMurry turnovers and converting them into 28 points. The Tornados also ran the floor relentlessly, finishing with 29 fast‑break points.

McMurry was led by a huge shooting night from Amari Leflore, who hit 11 threes on his way to 33 points, while Jalen Cherry posted 20 points and 16 rebounds. But CTX's depth, efficiency, and interior dominance ultimately overwhelmed the War Hawks.
