LAFAYETTE – Frank Bartley scored a game-high 25 points while Bryce Washington recorded his third double-double of the season with 20 points and a career-high 14 rebounds as the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns men's basketball team withstood a three-point barrage by Delaware State and held on for an 83-82 victory on Monday at Blackham Coliseum.
Â
Freshman P.J. Hardy scored a season-high 12 points off the bench while Jay Wright added 10 points as Louisiana (2-2) used a 15-6 run over the final 4:43 of the first half to overcome a 30-27 deficit and build a 42-36 lead at halftime.
Â
Delaware State (1-3), which finished 13-for-25 (52.0 percent) from behind the 3-point line, stormed out to an 8-0 lead as DeVaughn Mallory scored on a bucket in the lane before DeAndre Haywood drained back-to-back 3-pointers.
Â
The Ragin' Cajuns trailed 10-3 with 17:00 remaining in the first half before scoring 10 of the next 13 points to tie the game with 13:33 remaining. Washington and Scott Plaisance each scored buckets off missed shots for Louisiana during the stretch with Bartley and Wright each nailing 3-pointers.
Â
A bucket by freshman Jerekius Davis would later tie the game at 27-27 with 5:35 remaining in the half before Hardy would answer a three-point play by Delaware State's Joe Lewis with a 3-pointer that knotted the score at 30-30.
Â
Louisiana took the lead for good with 3:33 remaining on a bucket by Wright, and the Ragin' Cajuns would push their lead to six points three times in the final 2:10 as Bartley scored a pair of buckets and Washington sank a pair of free throws.
Â
Bartley, who finished 6-for-11 from the floor and 9-for-12 from the free throw line, gave Louisiana its biggest lead of the game – 70-61 – with a pair of free throws with 8:33 remaining.
Â
Delaware State got as close as 80-77 after two free throws by Devin Morgan with :31 seconds remaining, but Bartley responded with pair of free throws on Louisiana's ensuing possession and Hardy sank one of two free throws for an 83-79 lead with :08 seconds left.
Â
Louisiana finished 26-for-57 (45.6 percent) from the floor and 9-for-22 (a season-high 40.9 percent) from behind the 3-point line. Delaware State finished 29-for-64 (45.3 percent) from the floor and 11 of 12 (91.7 percent) from the free throw line.
