CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (AP) — Nolan Minessale scored 24 points, and Isaiah Johnson-Arigu posted 21 off the bench as St. Thomas beat Southeast Missouri State 84-72 on Saturday.
Minessale added six rebounds and four assists for the Tommies (3-2).
Johnson-Arigu shot 5 for 6 from the floor and 9 of 10 from the free-throw line. Jermaine Coleman shot 5 for 8, including 3 for 6 from beyond the arc to finish with 13 points off the bench.
The Tommies used a 9-0 run starting at the 16:12 mark of the first half to jump out to a 21-6 lead. They opened the second half on a 8-0 lead, creating a 20-point buffer to give them a cushion against a more than three-minute scoreless stretch late in the half.
