All 11 EIU players had points, rebounds and assists

All eleven Eastern Illinois players in uniform finished with points, rebounds and assists as it was all Panthers on Sunday afternoon during a 105-49 non-conference win over Blackburn College at Grongier Arena.
 
EIU won its sixth straight home game improving to 8-11 overall.  Blackburn is 4-13 on the season.
 
The Beavers held their own in the first several minutes taking an 8-7 lead into the first media timeout following a Payton Cook 3-pointer, one of 12 the Beavers would knock down in the game.
 
EIU responded with a 14-2 run and never looked back.  Andre Washington scored eight of his 16 points in the early Panthers run as he was one of four EIU players in double figures.  Zion Fruster tied him for team-high honors at 16 points.
 
EIU shot 64.5 percent in the opening half building a 53-26 halftime edge.  They increased that shooting percentage to 71 percent in the second half finishing at 67.7 percent for the game.
 
Preston Turner scored 14 points off the bench with freshman Markus Blackwell adding 11.    Prince Johnson was EIU's top rebounder with six while Meechie White dished out a team high six assists.
