Christian Barnes dropped 12 points as South Carolina State absolutely dominated Morris in a 94-55 victory on Monday. This wasn’t just a win, it was a statement from the Bulldogs. They came out, put up serious numbers, and sent a clear message.
Barnes on Fire, Bulldogs Bring the Heat
Barnes was on fire from deep, nailing 4 of his 6 attempts from beyond the arc. He shot 4 for 7 overall, showing he can get it done efficiently when he needs to. And it wasn’t just Barnes carrying the load; Jayden Pretty also got in on the action, adding 10 points and grabbing seven boards. That’s a solid double-digit contribution plus some serious work on the glass for the Bulldogs. This team came out swinging, and the scoreboard shows it.
Morris Tries to Keep Pace, But SCSU Too Much
For Morris, Demetrius Brown tried to keep things respectable, matching Barnes with 12 points of his own. Jayden Hosien chipped in nine points and Leith Kenon II added eight, but it just wasn’t enough to keep pace with South Carolina State’s offensive explosion. When a team drops 94 points, you better have your own offense clicking, and Morris just couldn’t find that rhythm.
The Bulldogs will look to keep this momentum rolling when they hit the road to visit USC Upstate on Friday. Morris has their next chance to bounce back when they visit Winthrop on Monday.
