Wright scores eight to join 1,000-club; Washington notches 19th double-double of season
LAFAYETTE – Bryce Washington recorded his 19th double-double of the season, senior Jay Wright became the 44th player in school history to reach the 1,000-point mark and the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns snapped a four-game losing skid with an impressive 87-61 win over South Alabama on Monday at the Cajundome.
Â
Frank Bartley added 10 points while reserve post player Larenz Stalcup scored eight points, grabbed a season-high nine rebounds and blocked a season-best four shots as Louisiana (15-11, 5-8 SBC) built a 37-28 lead at halftime and all 12 players who dressed got into the scoring column.
Â
Washington, who grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds, tied a career-high with 25 points as the junior as the Ragin' Cajuns limited South Alabama to 34 percent (22-for-65) from the floor and 1-for-15 from behind the 3-point line.
Â
Louisiana never trailed after Wright buried a 3-pointer from the left wing, giving the Ragin' Cajuns a 10-7 lead with 14:03 remaining in the first half. The senior would eventually give Louisiana a 28-18 lead at the 5:19 mark in the first half after sinking the second of two free throws before reaching the 1,000-point career mark with 14:38 remaining when he made the first of two free throws.
Â
South Alabama got as close as 37-30 when Don MuepoKelly scored on a layup on the Jaguars' opening possession, but Louisiana would respond with a 12-2 run as Stalcup sank a pair of free throws to open the spurt with Bartley converting on a three-point play with 16:09 remaining for a 49-32 lead.
Â
Kadavion Evans and P.J. Hardy would each sink 3-pointers during a 10-2 run that would eventually give Louisiana a 70-49 lead with 7:36 left. The Ragin' Cajuns stretched their lead to 80-54 with 4:17 remaining after Stalcup altered a dunk attempt by MuepoKelly and followed it up on the other end of the floor with an uncontested dunk of his own.
Â
Nick Stover came off the bench to score 14 points to lead South Alabama with MuepoKelly and Ken Williams scoring 11 points each. Louisiana held a 47-32 advantage on the glass and finished 30-for-59 (51 percent) from the floor.
Â
Louisiana will return to action on Saturday when it visits ULM in a 2 p.m. contest at Fant-Ewing Coliseum. The game will be streamed live on ESPN3.
