MBB Game Thread: LA 77, ASU 74

If I’m figuring it correctly, win 1 of next 2 Cajuns in conference tournament.

Lafayette gave us some quality minutes. Whose this cat Smith you’re asking about?

Wow, nice comeback.

Cedric Russell had 19 of his 22 points in the second half. That offset a great performance by Marquis Eaton who is an all-conference player. He had a career high 28 tonight.

After shooting just 25% in the first half, Cajuns shot 62.1 (18-29) after intermission.

Now, THIS is how you respond and finish a game. Solid win tonight. Onward to Saturday.

At one point in the 2nd half about the middle maybe they showed a stat line for 3 point attempts. ASU was an awful 3/11, then you saw Louisiana 4/20. It got better but mostly from in the paint and a few timely 3's.

Yes, and inside of 6 minutes or so, ASU did a good job of attacking the paint, even when they got down 6+ points. We were taking contested outside shots and they were taking driving layups. We made the plays we had to down the stretch but Eaton almost willed them to the win. Good win considering we didn't have Smith against a better front line.
