The North Central College men's basketball team made no contest of Wednesday's game at Millikin University, scoring the game's first 11 points and cruising to its most decisive win of the season, a 94-60 victory over the Big Blue at the Griswold Center.

The 17th-ranked Cardinals (14-5, 7-1 College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin) posted their most decisive win of the season in completing a season sweep of Millikin and winning for the 12th time in their past 14 games. 

North Central held the Big Blue scoreless for the first five minutes of play and moved in front early due to the shooting prowess of Jayme Moten, who scored the game's first three baskets by sinking a trio of three-pointers. Connor Raridon's layup with 15:22 left in the first half gave the Cardinals a 11-0 advantage and the visitors led by at least six points the rest of the evening.

Leading, 24-17, North Central went on a 13-0 surge to take its largest lead of the first period at 38-17. Moten finished the rally with two straight three-pointers, one of which was part of a four-point play. The Cardinals went into halftime with a 41-27 advantage, then shot 64 percent from the floor (16 of 25) in the second half to put the contest away. North Central outscored the Big Blue, 25-7, over the final 8:28 of the game.

The Cardinals shot 53.8 percent (28 of 52) from the field and 47.4 percent (9 of 19) from three-point range while making 29 of a season-high 40 free throws and committing a season-low five turnovers. Moten finished with 18 points on 5 of 8 three-point shooting and shared the team lead in scoring with Raridon, Erwin Henry and Aiden Chang each scored 13 points, and Henry also grabbed a career-best 12 rebounds while Chang made a perfect 5 of 5 shots from the floor. 

TJ Griffin led Millikin (6-13, 0-8 CCIW) in scoring with 15 points, while TJ Sims added 14 and Tommy Pilackas put up 12.
