It certainly wasn’t pretty, but the Friars were able to sneak out of the Dunk with a victory over Belmont on Wednesday night, winning 66-65 in thrilling fashion. While a win over the OVC-favorite Bruins may not carry much weight to the casual fan, don’t be surprised if this ends up being a top 50 RPI win for the Friars when March rolls around.
Senior Rodney Bullock put together his third straight solid outing, with 15 points and 8 boards, including a perfect 5-5 from the FT stripe.
The hot shooting continued for senior Jalen Lindsey, making four of his seven three point attempts to keep the Friars afloat early.
