Four Murray State players scored in double figures and the Aggies got to the line 33 times to rout Brookhaven (Texas) 90-65 Tuesday night.
The Aggies (4-4) won for the second night in a row, with 18-point efforts from Ardmore alumni Craig Murray and Domanique Godwin. The duo was joined in double figures by Laron Buggs (18 points) and BayShon Payne (10).
Murray State led 37-24 at halftime.

James Harris and June Carter scored nine and eight points, respectively.
Chris Smith led Brookhaven with 15 points, one of only two Bears in double digits.
