In the finale of the Elgin Baylor Classic, the host Seattle University RedHawks jumped out to a 38-15 lead at halftime and survived a season-best 23-2 run by Longwood University’s men’s basketball team to pull away with a 70-50 win on the final day of their home tournament at the RedHawk Center on Sunday.

The win was the third straight for Seattle, which got 22 points from forward Matej Kavas and 19 from guard Morgan Means to become only the second team to score 70 points against the defensive-minded Lancers (5-3) this season.

The Western Athletic Conference’s (WAC) preseason No. 3 pick, Seattle (6-3) ends the three-day tournament as the unofficial champions of the round-robin showcase after taking down Denver University, Fairfield University and Longwood on consecutive days to become the WAC’s first six-win team this season.

Longwood, meanwhile, finished 1-2 at the tournament with a win over Fairfield on Friday, doing so without leading scorer Isaiah Walton, the redshirt senior guard who was sidelined for all three games. The Lancers end November with five wins, the most in their 15-year Division I era and tied for the most in the program’s 41-year history.

“I thought in the first half we were really tentative,” said Longwood Head Coach Griff Aldrich. “We didn’t make our shots, but I thought they were a little bit intimidated by the big boy, Myles Carter, and that’s just not our style. You have to play fearlessly, you have to let the ball fly, you have to shoot it, you have to play aggressively.”

The Lancers were led in scoring by junior guard Lorenzo Phillips, who finished with a career-high 22 points on 8-of-16 shooting and four three-pointers. Senior forward Spencer Franklin added 10 points and six rebounds off the bench and paired with Phillips to become catalysts for Longwood’s 23-2 run in the second half, teaming up to pour in 17 points during a one-sided stretch that cut Seattle’s lead from 29 to 10.
