WARNER, Oklahoma -- The 13th ranked Northern Oklahoma College Mavericks routed Connors 100-74 Monday night in Warner, Oklahoma. 

The NOC men (22-3) improved to 8-3 in league play while Connors (19-7) fell to 6-6.

Tyrel Morgan led four Mavs in double figures in the 26 point win over Cowboys.

Demaree King added 20, Pipo Grafals 13, and Avante Lederer 12.

NOC led 44-34 at half before exploding for 56 points in the second half to reach the century mark.

Morgan added 13 rebounds for the Mavs.

"Conference wins are always good wins," said coach Donnie Jackson.  "We haven't had the most success picking up wins at Warner.  This was a good win for our team."

"We came out with really good energy and carried it throughout the game," Jackson said.  "We led from start to finish, that is a tribute to our guys attention to detail and effort level."

"We are at the stage of the season where every game matters," he added.  "We have an important two game homestand coming up and we need to focus on taking care of business at home.  Redlands is always a dangerous team because of their style of play.  We need to have two good days of preparation to try and protect our home court."
