McNeese opened its home schedule with a 135-87 win over College of Biblical Studies, setting a Townsley Law Arena scoring record and tying the school single-game mark for 3-pointers. Choppa Moore led the way with 29 points, while McNeese’s record 42 assists fueled an offense that scored 72 points after halftime—even with top defender Jerrell Colbert sidelined by the flu.

By the Numbers
  • 135 points; 50-for-78 shooting (64%).
  • 21-for-40 from 3-point range (53%); 42 assists.
  • Moore: 29 points and 9-for-11 from 3.
  • Larry Johnson: 22 points; Alier Maluk: 20 points and 11 rebounds.
  • Dellquan Warren: 12 assists, 8 points and 0 turnovers.
  • McNeese’s home winning streak: 30 games.
Yes, But

McNeese’s 135 points were the second-most it has scored in a regulation-time win; its 144-point record came in a triple-overtime loss to HCU in 2022. Moore’s nine 3-pointers fell one short of the school single-game record.

State of Play
  • McNeese improved to 2-1, with nearly the entire roster contributing: every player who dressed saw action, and all but one scored.
  • The Cowboys extended their home winning streak to 30 games, the fourth-longest active streak in the NCAA.
What’s Next

McNeese is off until a Nov. 22 visit to Texas State.

Bottom Line

McNeese’s record-setting passing and perimeter shooting turned its home opener into a blowout—and showed the team can generate offense even while missing a key defender.
