Somehow I overlooked this gem of a game from the weekend:
Gulf Coast 72, Campbell 68. Reed Baker and Derrick O'Neil each post PEGs over 20 (Baker 27, O'Neil 24) for FGCU. The game was fast but sloppy; 77 possessions per team led to a combined 44 turnovers and 8 of 31 3-point shooting. Both teams best players had off nights -- Jonathan Rodriguez had only 12 points to go with 6 turnovers, and FGCU's Delvin Franklin turned the ball over 7 times to post a PEG of 0 despite scoring 14 points. That's hard to do.
The game turned on an intentional foul call with less than 5 minutes to go. Up by 5, FGCU got the ball back when Derrick O'Neil picked Junard Hartley's pocket, then was fouled by Preston Dotson. O'Neil hit both free throws, then found Ed Rolax for a lay-up to put the Eagles up 9. 4 Gulf Coast turnovers in the final 81 seconds gave the Camels a shot, but they couldn't quite get there at the end.
