It took MBU's Brandon Roberson less than two seasons to score 1,000 career points at Missouri Baptist. The senior guard reached the milestone in Saturday's 103-62 non-conference win over Logan University. Roberson scored 30 points in the outing to bring his current point total to 1,003. Roberson, who transferred to Missouri Baptist University after finishing his career at NJCAA Kilgore College (Tex.), has led the Spartans in scoring both seasons. He was named the American Midwest Conference Newcomer of the Year last season, averaging 17.9 points, 3.2 assists, and 1.5 steals per contest. This season, he currently leads the AMC in scoring, averaging 19.4 points per game. He is shooting 47.7% from the field. He again is leading MBU in assists and steals.

Roberson has helped lead his team to a 12-12 record so far this season, already matching their win total from last season. They are 3-5 in the AMC. The Spartans will return to AMC action on Thursday, February 11th, when they travel down I-64 to Harris-Stowe State University. The Spartans fell to the Hornets 68-71 in their last meeting in January. The Spartans sit in fourth in the AMC, just two games back of HSSU (13-10, 5-3). Tip-off on Thursday will follow the women's 5:30 p.m. match-up.
