VALDOSTA, Ga. - Winston Morgan lit up The Complex with nine threes and 27 points in a 101-78 rout of the  Mississippi College Choctaws in Gulf South Conference action on Tuesday night in Valdosta, Ga.

The victory marked VSU's sixth consecutive victory and boosted the Blazers to a 13-2 overall record. Valdosta State has not lost a conference game since their GSC opener against West Florida in early December and now holds a 6-1 record against conference opponents. The loss for the Choctaws dropped MC to 7-7 overall and 4-5 against the GSC.

Morgan set the tone early on offense and came out swinging with his first three pointer of the night within the first 20 seconds of the game. With the help of a raucous crowd, the junior used the momentum to hit shot after shot, and he carried his performance well into the second half to top his previous season high of eight threes, which came in a win over Montevallo before the Christmas break.

As of Tuesday night, Morgan ranked sixth in the country in total three pointers made with 56, and his 49.1 shooting percentage from beyond the arc placed him in a tie for 13th among all DII players.

Valdosta State's barrage of offense didn't stop at Morgan, as three other players posted double-digit figures. The additional contributors included Justin McBride, who delivered a breakout performance with a career-high 20 points. The 6'-11" big man also came up just one rebound shy of a double-double, while KJ James reached the mark with 13 points and 11 rebounds.

The Blazers controlled the game throughout, thanks in large part to a paltry five turnover total on the night. Valdosta State recorded more steals than turnovers with six, and the red and black defense topped both of those numbers with a whopping seven blocks.

Gulf South Conference action continues on Saturday with a road matchup against the formidable Christian Brothers Bucs. Tip time is slated for 4:00 p.m. EST, with full coverage of the game available right here at www.vstateblazers.com.
