Ray Penn led the charge going 7-of-13 for 29 points while also racking up 11 assists, 2 steals and a rebound. Penn set the tone early for Texas Southern with his precision passing and quick cuts inside the lane. Murray put together his second back-to-back solid performance as the 6-10 center scored 24 points on an 8-of-17 shooting night.
Murray notched his first career triple double in a Tigers uniform as he blocked 10 shots while grabbing 10 rebounds. He was a menace inside the paint for the Wildcats throughout the contest as he rejected nearly every shot taken in his vicinity.
"We did a really good job executing our system tonight," said TSU head coach Mike Davis. "Ray did a great job setting the tempo for us tonight and Aaric came up with some big time blocks and buckets when we needed it."
Lawrence Johnson-Danner and Jose Rodriguez were the Tigers other two leading scores tallying 22 and 18 points respectively. Combined the two players went an efficient 14-of-21 from the floor. Johnson-Danner was lights out from three point range shooting 6-of-8 from beyond the arc.
As a team Texas Southern shot 55.1 percent from the field while holding the Wildcats to 45.8 percent in regulation. Aaron Clayborn grabbed six rebounds while scoring 14 points on a 7-of-10 night from the floor. Clayborn provide TSU with much needed energy off the bench and he also converted several clutch finishes around the basket.
The Tigers will now get set to take their talents to South Beach as they travel to Miami to face the University of Miami Hurricanes and Florida International on Nov. 14th and Nov. 16th respectively before traveling to begin participation in the Legends Classic.
