RUSTON – Louisiana Tech had lost its last five games that were decided by four points or less coming into Thursday night.
The Bulldogs, in particular the freshman duo of Anthony Duruji and Amorie Archibald, did not let that happen again.
The tandem combined to score 46 points, including two free throws with 0.9 seconds left from the forward Duruji, to come away with a 66-65 victory over North Texas in front of a season-high 4,236 fans inside the Thomas Assembly Center.
“There will be times where shots aren’t quite falling and things aren’t going the way you want offensively, but there are moments where you have to be gritty and tough and find a way,” head coach Eric Konkol said.
