2/14 Sun Belt

Censored by Laurie · February 15, 2008

MTSU - 76 USA - 70 - Desmond Yates scored 26 and Kevin Kanaskie added 18 as the Blue Raiders handed South Alabama their second conference loss of the season. USA star Demetric Bennett was held to just 9 points on 4-13 shooting, 1-7 from 3 point territory and no free throw attempts...it was Bennett's lowest scoring night since he scored 8 in the Jags November 22nd loss to Miami (OH). MTSU dominated the first half, taking a 43-29 lead into the break. The jags managed to cut the lead to 3 in the second half, but could get no closer. Yates and Kanaskie combined to go 8-15 from three...Daon Merritt led the way for USA with 16.

UNO - 79 ASU - 78 - Bo McCalebb went coast to coast for the go ahead layup with 20 seconds to go, and ASU failed to convert three game winning shots and the Privateers snuck out a one point win. McCalebb finished with a game high 31, the third time this season and third time in the last four games hes eclipsed the 30 point mark. McCalebb leads the SBC, and is 10th in the nation in scoring. Yima Chia-Kur and Ryan Wedel finished with 18 and 17 respectivly or the Indians.

ULL - 67 ULM - 65 - Tyren Johnson took and made just one shot last night...a wide open three with 6.6 seconds to go to give the Cajuns a 2 point win. ULL starters finished with just 15 points, meaning the bench picked them up to the tune of 52, led by a career high 17 from LaRyan Gary and 16 from Randall Diagle. Jordan Payne tried to keep the benches even for Monroe, leading the Warhawks with 20.

I'd watch out for Bo McCalebb and the Privateers. If they get a good draw in the tourney and he ges hots hot - they could win the whole thing. Unlikely he could single handidly beat WKU, but I've seen that kind of thing before.

I'm glad we only have to play him once more.

(Unless we draw them)

Please don't say that. NT always has problems with McCalebb and the Privateers. Oustide of USA & WKU, UNO is the team that I least want to see come SBC Tourney time. They are like NT kryptonite (at least McCalebb is).

I agree with you 100%. I hate UNO with a burning passion. Probably my most hated SBC basketball rival.

Hopefully McCalebb will finally graduate in the next 2 or 3 years. :rolleyes:
