SILOAM SPRINGS, Ark. — The Texas Wesleyan Rams had a dominating showing at No. 22 John Brown, beating the Golden Eagles 78-48 on Thursday evening.
 
The game marks the first time a Rams team has held their opponent to under 50 points since Nov. 13, 2014 when TXWES defeated Grand View 74-47 in Olathe, Kansas.
 
The Rams got off to a sizzling 14-0 start and held JBU scoreless for the game's first five minutes. The Golden Eagles took advantage of 4 straight TXWES turnovers to go on an 8-0 run of their own.
 
However, 8 early team fouls for the Golden Eagles impacted their efficacy and TXWES got going again after a Ryan Flores steal dished to Vydal Bradford on a fastbreak layup, putting Bradford in double digit scoring and starting a 13-point run for the Rams to lead 26-8.
 
JBU had another nearly five-minute drought and did not reach double figures on the board until 7:55 left in the half, shooting a poor 6-for-26 from the field. While TXWES led by as much as 18 points, turnovers numbered 12 to JBU's 11 in the first frame.
 
TXWES kept its foot on the pedal, shooting 61.5 percent on 16-for-26 shooting in the final half. They also limited JBU to just one trey after they made four previously. The Rams finished with 8 long balls.
 
Neither team shot well from the line, the Rams going 12-for-19 and the Golden Eagles 13-for-20.
 
The Rams out-rebounded JBU 40-27. TXWES did commit more turnovers 22 to JBU's 18, however, the Rams cashed in the miscues for 25 points versus the Golden Eagles 14 from Ram mistakes.
 
Bradford led all scorers with 20 points on 8-for-10 field shooting, 2-for-3 from the arc, and 2-for-3 at the line. He was one of four Rams with 6 rebounds each alongside Flores, Peyton Sallee and Christopher Coley.
