JACKSONVILLE — Everything was working in Jacksonville State's favor during its 96-60 win over Oakwood Monday night.
 
It started with JaQuail Townser sinking two of his career-tying four 3-point shots en route to his game-high 17 points. It finished with Andre Statam, a freshman from Cape Girardeau, Mo., bringing down one of his career-high seven rebounds to go along with 16 points, which was also a career high.
 
Townser and Statam were two of five Gamecock players in double figures for head coach James Green. Jared Hamilton finished with 12 points, six assists and five rebounds in 25 minutes of game action. Christian Cunningham also had 12 points, seven rebounds and five blocks. Rounding out the five some was Malcolm Drumwright, who has now scored in double digits in all three games this season, as he finished with 11 points and nine assists.
 
It's the first time Jacksonville State had five players in double figures since Darion Rackley (24), Drumwright (15), Jamal Hunter (15), Avery Moore (14) and D.J. Felder (10) reached the mark earlier this calendar year on Feb. 14, 2015 against Tennessee Tech, which was a span of six games.
 
Erik Durham added nine points and seven reboudns while Ed Jones, in his first collegiate action, had eight points in seven minutes. Greg Tucker and DelFinkco Bogan had five and four points respectively.
 
The game was ultimately decided in the first half when the Gamecocks scored 53 points on 56.4 percent shooting from the field. They followed it up with 43 points during the second half while shooting 45.9 percent. Green attributed his team's second win of the season to the 24-to-5 assist-to-turnover ratio during the game's 40 minutes. The Gamecocks also scored 54 of their points in the paint.
 
For Oakwood (4-7), Ronnie Abrams scored a team-high 13 points while bringing down a game-high eight rebounds. Ollie Felps added 12 points and four assists.
 
The Jacksonville State defense held Oakwood to a mere 37.1 shooting percent during the game and forced 12 turnovers.
 
Green and his Gamecocks will return to action on Wednesday at Virginia Tech with tipoff scheduled for 6 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ESPN3 and will also be carried on the Gamecock Sports Network with Mike Parris calling the action.
