Roman Domon Scores 29 Points to Lead Murray State Over Alcorn State

Roman Domon tied his NCAA career high with 29 points on Tuesday night, leading Murray State to a 94-57 victory over Alcorn State.

Playing on Tuesday night, the sophomore guard and forward reached 29 points for the second time in his collegiate career, matching his previous best set against Northern Iowa in January, according to BeBasket. Domon scored 20 of his points before halftime, anchoring an offensive performance that improved his early-season numbers.

Through three games this season, the Amiens native is averaging 22.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in 29 minutes and 40 seconds per contest. BeBasket said that he ranks inside the Top 30 of NCAA Division I scorers among 5,607 players.

Reflecting on his ambitions for the current campaign, Domon outlined his target numbers during an interview in the spring. “I want to become ultra dominant,” Domon told BeBasket. “14 points, 5 rebounds, it’s a good base, but it’s not enough to be truly dominant. Very good players average 20 points, 8 rebounds. That’s where I want to be. And it’s by being dominant that the biggest doors open for you.”

Domon shot 9 of 14 from the field against Alcorn State, including 2 of 6 from 3-point range, while converting 9 of 10 free throws. He added 5 rebounds, 5 passes, 1 steal, and 1 block in 28 minutes of floor time, finishing with a 31 efficiency rating alongside 4 turnovers.

His fellow French teammates on the Racers roster also contributed to the win. Talis Soulhac started alongside Domon and finished with 5 points on 1-of-3 shooting and 3 interceptions in 17 minutes. Jonas Boulefaa scored 6 points on 2-of-6 shooting across 10 minutes off the bench. Mathis Courbon added 1 point, shooting 0 for 6, while collecting 6 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 interception without a turnover.
