The Chris Wright era at Langston University got off to a roaring start as the Langston Lions dispatched Dallas Christian 94-48 in their season opener on Friday night at C.F. Gayles Field House.
The Lions roared their way to a 53-24 halftime lead over the Crusaders. In the opening half the Lions hit 52 percent (18-of-34) from the field and converted 14-of-19 free throw attempts while holding Dallas Christian to 42 percent (eight-of-19).
