Fred Gentry fouled out and Demond Mallet and Raynell Brewer each had four. It is always a tense moment when your number one scorer goes down and all eyes were focused on Demond Mallet when he took a hard foul in the first half, but Mallet came up without injury. The win was the 14th conference win in a row for McNeese and helped the Cowboys maintain their first place Southland Conference position. After the game, Demond Mallet talked about the experience of being on a winning team. This is the best team any player could be a part of and we're deep on the bench.
Any player is capable of having a good night.
Good things happen. They made a great run and made some incredible shots. We just had to hope that they would start missing because we were playing strong defense and they were still making the three's. And, we tried to slow it down on offense. Because we have good players, we're able to spend more time on free throws and rebounding.
