DURANT, Okla. –
Kody Clouet dropped a career-high 33 points, draining seven threes, to power Southeastern to a 95-75 win over Ouachita Baptist on Thursday night in Bloomer Sullivan Arena.
Â
The win lifts the Savage Storm to 20-7 overall on the year and 16-3 in Great American Conference play heading into a Saturday afternoon matchup with Hender4son State at 3 p.m. back in Bloomer Sullivan Arena.
Â
Clouet went 9-of-17 overall from the floor and connected on 7-of-13 threes while also adding an 8-for-8 effort at the free throw line to reach 33 points.
Â
Brennen Burns was next in line with 17 points on 7-of-18 shooting while handing out a game-high eight assists on the night.
Â
Robert Briley hit double-figures off the bench with 14 points and was the leader on the glass with eight rebounds.
Â
Landon Condiff rounded out the double-digit scoring with 13 points with a pair of threes.
Â
Kyle Leslie added eight in the effort, finishing just short of double-figures.
Â
Condiff would hit a three to get SE on the board first, but OBU would answer and by the 17:22 mark take a lead, still holding an 11-10 edge with 15:30 to play in the first half.
Â
SE would reel off six-straight to regain the lead and would slowly edge away, with the lead hitting double-digits on a Briley bucket with 7:47 to play in the first, taking a 30-19 lead.
Â
The lead would reach 15 points twice before the Tigers would chip away to close the Storm advantage to 46-35 at the halftime break.
Â
That momentum would pick up in the second half as OBU would whittle the SE lead to 48-43 within the first two minutes of the second half.
Â
That was as close as it would get though as the Storm would eventually push its lead back to double-figures on a pair of Condiff free throws with 12:37 to play.
Â
The lead would continue to grow, hitting 20 points on a Burns jumper with 2:07 to play before settling on the biggest lead of the day and the final score of 95-74.
