GREAT FALLS, Mont. – The University of Providence men's basketball team cruised to their second straight victory Saturday night, taking down Yellowstone Christian 119-76 in the McLaughlin Center.

"We got better tody," head coach Steve Keller said. "We shared the ball better. We found the open guy a lot more so that was good to see. We got up and down. I was really pleased with our performance today."

For the second straight night, five players scored in double-figures for the Argos (2-0). Emmitt Linton III and Marcus Stephens led the way, recording 23 points each, while Stephens added 10 assists to complete the double-double. Elijah Oliver also added 20 points off the bench for the Argos. Rashee Stocks added 16 points for the squad, while Sam Norum recorded 10 points and six rebounds in only nine minutes of action.

"We really shared the basketball tonight as a team," Keller said. "We made the extra pass tonight and took great shots. Marcus had a great game, Emmett had his best game and Elijah had his best game. We took a step forward tonight."

The team shot much better than on Friday, shooting 57.6% from the field and 43.8% from the three-point line. The Argos were also monsters on the boards, outrebounding the Centurions (0-8) 50-29.

The team will return to action next week, when the squad hosts a pair of exhibition games against the Seattle Mountaineers. The first game will tip off at 7:00 p.m. on Nov. 5 in the McLaughlin Center.
