Guard Ace Lassiter pumped in 20 points while teammate Kasir Baker added 18 to lead Roadrunner Men's Basketball to a 92-58 win over visiting Eastern University in a Roadrunner Classic semifinal Friday.

Other Runners who scored in double figures included Hajir Davis, who netted 15 points, along with teammates Dasir Williams-Bey and Zair Green chipped in with 12 apiece. 

The Runners, who fell behind 6-0 at the outset, moved out to a 23-10 first half lead before extending that advantage to 52-28 by halftime. They never looked back from that point. 

RCSJ will now play Mercer CCC for the Classic championship Saturday in a 4 pm tipoff. And the Division II Vikings will be a tough opponent to face, said RCSJ Coach John Byrd. 

"Mercer will be tough and we expect this to be a close game all the way -- and  we look forward to the challenge," said Byrd.  "They play a zone defense, which we did not see here against Eastern. We will need to make some adjustments to play effectively against their defense."
