FLORENCE – Mervin James scored a career-high 20 points to lead the University of North Alabama men's basketball team to a 73-50 home win over Mississippi Valley State Wednesday afternoon. With the win, UNA improves to 3-4 on the season, including a 3-0 mark at Flowers Hall.
 
James, a freshman from Mabelton, Ga., was 8-for-8 from the floor, including a three-point basket. He added 10 rebounds on the day to complete his first career double-double.
 
North Alabama broke the game open in the closing minutes of the first half. The Delta Devils took a 22-20 lead with 6:50 remaining, but would not score again. A tip-in by James tied the game at 22-22 and the Lions closed the half on a 15-0 run. James had eight points during the stretch, including a runner with five seconds remaining to give UNA a 35-22 lead at the break.
 
In the second half, the lead only grew. The Lions led 50-35 at the 8:54 mark before taking control with an 11-0 run. Back-to-back three-pointers by Christian Agnew pushed the lead to 61-35 with 7:17 remaining. MVSU would not get within 20 points the rest of the way.
