Hoops: Alabama State men 71, Grambling State 50

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Maurice Strong and Wendell Lewis have been a lethal combination for Alabama State this season. They helped the Hornets run away from Grambling in the second half.

Strong led the Hornets with 14 points and nine rebounds as they defeated Grambling State 71-50 in the Southwestern Athletic Conference opener at the Acadome.

The Hornets went on an 11-3 run at the beginning of the second half to take the lead for good.

Strong and Lewis have been in the starting lineup together for the last eight games.

"He (Lewis) makes it so much easier," Strong said. "It's good to have a guy that can make shots and help you rebound."
