EUGENE – Jordan West (Gymea Bay, Australia/Port Hacking) and Eric Thompson (Roseburg, Ore./Roseburg) combined for 42 points and 16 rebounds, Tim Weber (Roseburg, Ore./Roseburg) tied a career-high with 15 assists and the 19th-ranked Southern Oregon men's basketball team scored with ease in a 98-59 win over New Hope on Tuesday night in nonleague play.

The Raiders improved to 21-6 overall going into Saturday's 7:30 p.m. rivalry game against Oregon Tech in Ashland. They led 54-36 by halftime and scored the first 12 points of the second.

Weber, who did his damage in 24 minutes of work, added five points and eight rebounds. This season he's twice dished out 15 assists – the third-highest single-game mark in SOU history – and he's had 10-plus assists on 10 occasions.
