RUSTON, La. (AP) — Brett Decker Jr. had 15 points in Liberty’s 72-56 victory against Louisiana Tech on Thursday night.
Decker also added six rebounds for the Flames (12-3, 4-0 Conference USA). JJ Harper scored 13 points while going 4 of 7 from the floor, including 1 for 4 from 3-point range, and 4 for 4 from the free-throw line. Colin Porter had 11 points and shot 4 for 10, including 1 for 3 from beyond the arc.
The Bulldogs (8-7, 1-3) were led by DJ Dudley, who posted 17 points. Scooter Williams Jr. added nine points for Louisiana Tech. Sir Issac Herron finished with eight points and two steals.
