UT Permian Basin Men's Basketball got a balanced attack from its offense on Saturday with five players finishing in double figures.  Jalen King led all players with 21 points while Keyon Craddock, DaJuan Jones, and Azariah Seay had 13 each in the team's 76-68 win over Western Washington.

Max Warren got the offense going early with four of his six points coming in the opening minutes.  Seay knocked down back-to-back jumpers to put the Falcons on top by five in the early going.  The Falcons ran their lead all the way to 10 in the opening half before the Vikings responded and made it a two-point game heading into the locker rooms.

The start of the second half saw the Vikings tie the score three times, but unable to take the lead from the Falcons.  The back-and-forth affair eventually saw the Vikings grab the two-point lead, but that lead lasted all of four seconds after a technical foul led to a pair of Jones free throws that tied things at 40.  Nathaniel Powell scored on the ensuing possession to regain the lead.  After a bucket by the Vikings to tie it at 42 all, Jones sparked a 10-0 run with seven points followed by a three by Seay to give the Falcons a cushion they'd hold the rest of the way.

Powell added 10 points and eight rebounds to the effort off the bench.  Jones had a huge night, along with his 13 points he had eight assists and five rebounds.  As a team the Falcons combined to score 48 points in the paint.
