Keiser men's basketball dominated from start to finish, rolling to an 84-44 victory over Webber International on Saturday afternoon at the Sabbaugh Athletic Center. The win extended the Seahawks' winning streak and improved their record to 14-1 overall and a perfect 5-0 in Sun Conference play.

The game began as a competitive contest in the opening minutes as Keiser struck first with a Thomas Morgan turnover and subsequent Keiser transition bucket. The Warriors briefly held leads of 7-6 and 11-9 in the early going after Landon Tillman converted two free throws following a steal. The lead changed hands twice in the first half, with the score tied at 9-9. From that point forward, the Seahawks never looked back. Camerin James provided an immediate offensive spark, scoring 15 points in the opening period on 6-of-8 shooting. Nadir Myers came off the bench to drain a late three-pointer, helping Keiser build a commanding 31-18 advantage at halftime.

The second half continued the dominant run that ended the first as Keiser exploded out of the locker room, embarking on a 20-2 run over the first five minutes. Jackson Slater led the charge, hitting back-to-back three-pointers and finishing a perfect 4-for-4 from the field and 2-for-2 from deep. James continued his dominant performance with a thunderous dunk and consistent scoring in the paint during the early parts of the half. Braylen Meredith caught fire off the bench, scoring 14 of his 16 points in the second half on an efficient 6-of-8 shooting.

By the 3:25 mark, Keiser had stretched their lead to 82-33, and the game was all but done. The Seahawks' defense clamped down on Webber International, holding them to just 23.2% shooting from the field and 18.2% from three-point range. Keiser capitalized on every opportunity, forcing 20 turnovers and converting them into 28 points, while also dominating the glass with a 45-27 rebounding advantage.

Keiser will have one of their biggest games of the year up next when No. 8 Ave Maria comes to West Palm Beach. Tipoff from the Student Life Center is set for 7:30 p.m.
