Staff’s Career Night Carries Texas State Past Nicholls State 67-58
Matt Staff threw his team on his big shoulders Thursday night. With the team struggling, tired and on the road, Staff stepped up in a big way to the tune of 37 points and 16 rebounds. “We had a huge size advantage on them tonight.” Coach Bell said. “Besides no one else was making $%#!.” The Bobcats made a season low 2 three pointers but thanks to the advantage in the post held a 11-3 advantage from the free throw line.
Anyone not named Matt Staff combined to go 13-38 (34%) from the field. This has become a reoccurring theme throughout the season. Many of the players have really struggled on the road compared to being at home. However, Eddie Rios’ 1 three pointer was a big one. It extended the Bobcat lead to 59-52 with 1:30 left in the game and really pushed the game out reach.
NEXT: Texas State is home to UT-Arlington Saturday night.
