Northwest Missouri State men's basketball reached its best start under head coach Ben McCollum with an 84-61 win over Southwest Baptist Saturday afternoon.

Northwest Missouri State is also one win or one Washburn loss away from clinching a share of the MIAA regular season title with four games remaining.

Trevor Hudgins led Northwest with 20 points, four rebounds and three assists.

Ryan Hawkins also reached double-figures with 15 points. Tyler Dougherty scored 12 points off the bench, and Diego Bernard added 11 points, five rebounds and five assists.
