Freshman Corey Blake scored 14 points, all of them coming in the second half, while Jon Breeden added 12 to pace the Golden Rams.
Jay Fletcher and Clint Nicholson each posted a game-high 19 points to lead five different Fighting Scots in double figures. Nicholson was 4-for-7 from beyond the 3-point arc.
