After Slow Start, Javelinas Blow Out Cameron On the Road

   Lawton, Okla. -- After a miserable offensive start, the Texas A&M-Kingsville Javelinas kicked into high gear, dominating Cameron 79-56 Saturday afternoon.
   Senior center Juan Lanauze led four Javelinas in double figures with 13 points and 10 rebounds, his second double-double of the season.
   Dominick Jones and Reggie Love each has 12 and junior Clyde Johnson had a career-high 11 points and five rebounds off the bench as the Javelinas improved to 6-2.
   After making just one of their first 10 shots and missing their first eight 8 3-point shots attempts, the Javelinas caught fire, making 29 of their final 41 shots for just over 70 percent and 6 of their final 8 3-point shot attempts.
   The Javelinas shot a season-high 58.8 percent for the game and nearly 38 percent from 3-point territory.
   Two days after hitting just 3-of-13 free throws in an overtime loss at Southwestern Oklahoma, the Javelinas hit a season best 13 of 17 free throws for just over 76 percent.
   "When you got a win on the road against an LSC team if feels good," said Javelina head coach Pete Peterson.  "We were getting shots, we were just missing them.  We just had to stay and course and sooner or later I knew we'd hit some shots.  It was our sixth game in 12 days so you don't know what will happen.  The guys had confidence tonight.  Our bench did a super job tonight."
   The Javelina reserves out-scored the Cameron bench 25-4 as freshman Quintin Moses had a career-high 8 points.
   Thanks to the Javelinas slow start, Cameron jumped out to a 12-4 lead just six and a half minutes into the contest.
   But the Hogs finally found their shooting touch and turned up their usually reliable defense, outscoring the Aggies 17-0 over the next six minutes to grab a 21-12 lead.
   The Javelinas would never trail again.
   They led 33-26 at the half and opened the second half on a 15-2 run to grab an insurmountable 48-28 lead just four minutes into the second half.
   Jones scored the first eight points of the half on a pair of 3-point shots and a slam dunk.
Cameron got no closer than 11 points the rest of the way.
