MOBERLY, Missouri—Nathan Keck pumped in 27 points on 11-of-13 shooting Friday night against Central Christian College of the Bible, but it was not enough as the Eagles gave up a season-high 106 points to the Saints in a 106-89 loss on the road.

Central Christian shot a blistering 72.2 percent from the floor in the first half (7-of-13 from three) to build a comfortable 62-38 lead at halftime.
