After starting the season scorching hot from distance, the Pokes had shot just 30.3 percent as a team in their prior three contests before the Central Arkansas game on Friday. In addition, the Cowboy bench had shot 15.7 percent from three over this same span of games, with a majority of these attempts coming from guards Michael Weathers and Mike Cunningham.
However, during Friday afternoon’s 82-73 victory over Central Arkansas, the Cowboys got a much needed shooting spark off the bench from Indiana transfer Curtis Jones. With Cunningham sitting out for team disciplinary reasons, the junior guard stepped up and provided some firepower from distance for the Pokes.
