AUGUSTA, Ga. – Junior guard Caleb Brown scored a season-high 18 points Wednesday night to lead No. 6 Augusta State to an 89-43 Peach Belt Conference victory over UNC Pembroke in Christenberry Fieldhouse.

One of five Jaguars in double figures, Brown connected on 6-of-9 field-goal attempts and drained 3-of-5 3-point attempts to go along with six rebounds. He logged a team-high 26 minutes of playing time.

Alex Smith netted 16 points, Ben Madgen pitched in 14, Fred Brathwaite managed 13 and Daniel Dixon registered 11 points, five steals and four assists. Brathwaite and Greg Hire grabbed a game-high seven rebounds each. Junior forward Howard Brown chipped in eight points and four rebounds in a season-high 12 minutes off the bench.

The victory -- the Jags' 23rd straight at home and 14th in a row in league play -- lifted them to 15-1 overall and to 7-0 in the conference. The Braves (5-12, 1-7 PBC) did not have a player reach double digits.

ASU's margin of victory (46) was the largest since a 115-47 victory (68) over Carver on Nov. 21, 2004, a span of 172 games. The 43 points allowed were the fewest surrendered by a Jags' squad since a 67-40 victory at UNC Pembroke on Feb. 16, 2005.

The defeat was UNCP's largest since falling 103-56 to ASU on Jan. 18, 2003.

ASU led 39-20 at the half and shot a season-best 69.2 percent in the second half. The Jags' 14 steals marked a season high, as did their 34 bench points.

ASU travels to USC Aiken on Monday, January 25 for a 7:30 p.m., league matchup with the Pacers in the Convocation Center.
