OLLU Men Roll Past Texas College

Our Lady of the Lake men’s basketball delivered a strong, complete performance in a 94–72 victory over Texas College, controlling the game with physicality on both ends of the floor.

OLLU set the tone early by attacking the paint and crashing the glass, finishing with a decisive 54–31 rebounding advantage. Kenyon Elliott anchored that effort with a double-double, posting 17 points and 10 rebounds while battling consistently inside. Isaiah Moore was nearly perfect offensively, scoring 14 points on 7-of-9 shooting, giving the Saints a reliable presence in the lane.

The Saints offense flowed efficiently through multiple contributors. Jaydin Morin-Bishop led all scorers with 15 points, knocking down three shots from beyond the arc and adding two steals in an active two-way effort. Off the bench, Barack Holland and Davonte Durst each provided 12 points, with Durst also dishing out six assists to keep the offense moving. OLLU finished with 22 assists on 35 made field goals, a clear reflection of unselfish play and disciplined execution.

Defensively, OLLU applied steady pressure and forced 20 Texas College turnovers, turning stops into transition opportunities. The Saints also recorded 12 steals as a team, disrupting rhythm and limiting Texas College’s ability to build sustained momentum. While Texas College was led by Jason Roseberry Jr.’s 21-point performance and Gelil Ward’s 20 points off the bench, OLLU consistently answered scoring runs and maintained control.

Depth proved to be a difference-maker, as OLLU received scoring contributions from 11 different players and outscored Texas College in efficiency and effort over the final stretch. Shooting 46.1 percent from the field and holding a clear advantage on the boards, the Saints steadily pulled away and closed the game with composure.

The win showcased OLLU’s ability to combine physical play, ball movement, and defensive intensity, reinforcing the team’s identity and momentum as the season continues. The Saints will be back in action Saturday against Jarvis Christian at 3:00 PM CDT.
