Dogs win, 82-71. Some thoughts:
1) Cam Jackson could not be stopped. 24 points and 9 rebounds.
2) Despite some struggles shooting at times, Fletcher Magee had 18 points and he surpassed 2,000 points for his career today. Congratulations, Fletcher. That is quite an accomplishment, especially given that every opponent locks in on him. And Fletch hit a couple of BIG shots for us down the stretch.
3) Nice defensive effort, especially on Zac Cuthbertson, CCU’s leadng scorer. He finished with 14, but most of those were at the end of the game when it was pretty much decided.
4). The team did hit free throws at the end when it really counted. Storm and Nathan were as cool as the other side of the pillow knocking them down late to preserve the win.
5) CCU was a very worthy opponent. They played hard, played us tough, and never quit. This was a great game for us to play in preparation for the SoCon. We were challenged and we rose up to it.
6) We shot just 21% from behind the arc yet beat a pretty good mid-major team by 11
These guys have a tough week ahead with exams and I imagine many are very tired, busy, and stressed out. So taking everything into consideration...one heck of a job!
