Falcons Rout Arlington Baptist 120-64 in First-Ever Toy Toss Game

UT Permian Basin men's basketball came close to breaking school records for scoring Monday night as the Falcons defeated Arlington Baptist 120-64 at the UTPB Gym in Odessa.

The night was also special for other reasons as UTPB (8-1) held their first-ever Toy Toss Game sponsored by Medical Center Health System, allowing fans to throw over 2,000 toys onto the court when Jacob Ledoux scored the Falcon's first two points at the free throw line.

"The Toy Toss was a great success," said head coach Josh Newman. "Those toys are going to make a huge imact in our community. Thanks to all of our fans for helping to make tonight special."

The Falcons came three points short of tying their all-time high of 123 points scored in regulation, and were four points away from tying their largest margin of victory (60 points) in the runaway win.

Seven different players ended the night in double-figures for UTPB, with nine scoring at least nine on the evening.

Ledoux had a game-high 17 points on the night while Ledet had an impressive 14 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. Miles Washington added 13 points on 6-9 shooting with 10 rebounds for his first double-double of the season. 

Maurice Walton added the team's second double-double on the night, ending the game with 16 points and 10 rebounds. Isaiah Hammons had 12 points on a perfect shooting night, hitting all four of his field goals and connecting on each of his four free throws. Demarco Jackson had a pair of three-pointers in scoring 11 points on the night.

UTPB hit 45-79 as a team from the field (57 percent) in the game and out-rebounded Arlington Baptist 55-30 on the night.

The Falcons return quickly, hitting the road for a trip north to Lubbock for a regional match up against Lubbock Christian Wednesday night at 5 p.m.

"I thought our offense was very efficient and we did another great jhob of scoring in transition," said Newman. "Our guys played unselfish and we had quality play from everyone. We have a quick turnaround as we travel to play a very good basketball team in Lubbock Christian."
