MONTICELLO  – The University of Arkansas at Monticello men’s basketball team picked up its sixth straight win in as many games, defeating Champion Baptist 106-52 at home.

The win marks the first time in UAM men’s basketball team history that a team won its first six games of the season.

In the win, UAM (6-0) used 52 percent shooting to seal a comfortable win over Champion Baptist (1-13) for the second time this season. The Tigers shot 37 percent in the first half, but improved its number to 44 percent in the second half, but UAM’s 49-23 lead at the halftime break was too great to overcome.

Senior Bernard Seymour (Biloxi, Miss.) led all scorers with 25 points and seven rebounds. Seymour was 10-of-13 from the field, while also racking up one three-pointer and four free-throws.

Following Seymour was senior Deron Brown (Paris, Ky.) who had 15 points after shooting 6-of-10 from the field and 3-of-5 from behind the three-point line. Brown also added five assists and four steals to his totals.

Junior Derek Easter (El Dorado, Ark.) became the first Weevil of the season to record a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds in the win. Easter also racked up three blocked shots and five steals.

Rounding out the double digit scorers was sophomore and returning Gulf South Conference West Division freshman of the year D’Angelo Dean (Cincinnati, Ohio), who saw his first action of the season. Dean racked up 10 points in only 18 minutes of play.

The Weevils entered the game as the 23rd ranked team in the nation and will look to improve that ranking this weekend with games against West Florida and Montevallo in the Montevallo Classic.

UAM plays Montevallo Friday, December 5 at 7:30 p.m. and West Florida on Saturday at 4 p.m.
