Ragin' Cajuns open four-game road swing on Wednesday at Texas State
LAFAYETTE – Troy used a 3-point barrage to take a big halftime lead and used a rebounding advantage to keep their distance as the Trojans never trailed in a 90-70 win over the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns in a Sun Belt Conference game Saturday afternoon in the Cajundome.
Â
Thomas Dowd led six Troy (11-6, 4-1 SBC) in double figures with 15 points. Brothers Cooper and Cobi Campbell combined for seven 3-pointers in the first half and scored 12 points each. Victor Valdez also scored 12 points for the Trojans while Kerrington Kiel and Jerell Bellamy chipped in 11 apiece.
Â
Dorian Finister led Louisiana (4-14, 2-4 SBC), tying his career high with 25 points. The New Orleans junior connected on 8 of 12 shots from the field, including 3-for-5 from beyond the 3-point line. Dariyus Woodson came off the bench and had his second straight game in double digits, finishing with 13 points.
Â
Dowd had eight rebounds to lead Troy to an overwhelming 43-18 advantage on the boards. The Trojans used 18 offensive rebounds to score 30 second-chance points in the contest. Woodson led the Ragin' Cajuns in rebounding with three.
Â
The Campbell brothers combined for the first nine points of the game – all from behind the 3-point line – and never trailed. Finister scored five straight points for Louisiana to cut the lead to four, but a second-chance 3-pointer by Dowd midway through the first half gave Troy a 24-12 lead, and the Ragin' Cajuns could not get any closer the rest of the game.
Â
Troy shot 54 percent for the game, including a blistering 17-for-29 from 3-point range, with the Campbell brothers each converting on four 3-pointers. Dowd added three 3-pointers for the Trojans, with Kiel, Valdez and Austin Cross hitting two each. The Trojans assisted on 25 of their 33 field goals.
Â
Louisiana shot a respectable 46 percent for the day, while converting 10 of 25 (40 percent) attempts from beyond the 3-point line.
Â
The game wrapped up the five game homestand for Louisiana, which will now hit the road for four straight beginning on Wednesday at Texas State. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
