ASU Basketball Beats UNO, 66-52

New Orleans (2/6/10) – Freshman forward Brandon Peterson was perfect from the floor for the Arkansas State basketball team going 8-8 for 16 points. Peterson led the Red Wolves in their 66-52 Sun Belt Conference win over New Orleans Saturday at the Lakefront Arena.

The win pushed ASU to 14-9 and 9-3 in Sun Belt. The win was the first for the Red Wolves in New Orleans since the 1999 season. The Privateers dropped to 7-17 with a 2-11 league mark.

“We fouled them a little too much, we gave them some easy baskets off stick backs and gave them too many offensive rebounds and that's why they were able to hang around,” said ASU head coach John Brady. “Finally we established our defense and shut them down a little bit – we were able to score on four or five consecutive trips which gave us the separation at the end.”

Sophomore forward Martavius Adams recorded his second-straight and third-career double-double scoring 13 points with 13 rebounds, leading ASU on the boards. Rashad Allison matched Adams output from the field with 13, while recording 13 assists. Allison also had six assists.

A dunk by Peterson at the 16:49 mark of the game put ASU on top 6-5, giving the Red Wolves their first lead of the contest. In the first half the lead changed 11 times.

Adams put ASU up 22-21 on a layup with 4:33 remaining in the first half, giving The Red Wolves a lead they wouldn't relinquish the rest of the way.

The Red Wolves stretched their first half lead out to eight when Adams connected on a jumper with 12 seconds remaining in the half, going into the locker room up 36-28.

ASU stretched their lead out to 11 when Adams hit a jumper from the baseline at 16:31 of the second half. Freshman guard Trey Finn put ASU up by 11 again on the Red Wolves next possession hitting a three.

UNO managed to cut ASU's lead to three when Johann Mpondo layed the ball in with about 10-minutes remaining in the contest. Carl Blair got it back to a three-point ASU lead when he hit a pair of free-throws less than a minute later. ASU held the Privateers to just seven points in the final 10-minutes of action getting back to double-digits when Finn converted a fast break dunk off a Brandon Reed steal. Jeremy Thomas and Allison hit free throws down the stretch in the final minute to give ASU its final 14 point lead.

Reed recorded only three points but had six assists and a team-high three steals.

Blair led all players with 23 points and was the only Privateer player in double-digits.

ASU shot 53.3% from the floor on 24-45 shooting and held UNO to just 32% (18-56). The Red Wolves outscored UNO 27-20 in the paint with each team pulling down 34 rebounds.

The Red Wolves wrap up their final multiple game road trip of the season playing at Western Kentucky Thursday at 7 p.m.
