2/27/2016 8:36:00 PM | Men's Basketball
Long moves into sole possession of 14th in NCAA career double-doubles
MOBILE, Ala. – Ken Williams scored 16 of his team-high 25 points in the second half and South Alabama shot a blistering 67 percent in the final 20 minutes to earn an 83-70 win over the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns in a Sun Belt Conference basketball game on Saturday at the Mitchell Center.
Â
Nick Stover and Shaq Calhoun came off the bench to score 13 and 11 points respectively as South Alabama (13-16, 8-10 SBC) erased a 32-26 halftime deficit by shooting 22-for-33 (66.7 percent) from the floor in the second half and 6-for-8 from behind the 3-point line.
Â
The Jaguars used an 18-2 run midway through the second half after Louisiana (15-12, 11-7 SBC) took a 42-40 lead on a bucket by Bryce Washington with 12:58 remaining. Calhoun, who finished 5-for-6 from the floor, tied the game with a layup on the Jaguars' ensuing possession before Don MuepoKelly hit a jumper to give USA the lead for good.
Â
Calhoun added a 3-pointer and MuepoKelly sank a pair of free throws for a 49-42 lead, and after Shawn Long scored on a dunk for Louisiana, the Jaguars scored the next nine points to push their lead to 58-44 with 8:22 remaining.
Â
Louisiana trailed 9-2 early in the game before it chipped away at the deficit and took its first lead of the game – 21-20 – on Johnathan Stove's bucket with 5:56 left in the first half. The Ragin' Cajuns built a 28-22 lead when Washington tipped in a missed jumper by Steven Wronkoski, and led 32-26 when Devonta Walker sank a pair of free throws with 1:00 remaining in the first half.
Â
Long scored a team-high 25 points and grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds to record his 21st double-double of the season and the 73rd of his career, moving him past Bill Walton (UCLA) and Don May (Dayton) into sole possession of 14th place in NCAA history.
Â
Washington finished with 14 points and nine rebounds for the Ragin' Cajuns with Stove adding 11. Louisiana finished 26-for-69 (37.7 percent) from the floor and 2-for-15 (13.3 percent) from behind the 3-point line.
