Coleman scores 29 points as B-CU thumps Stetson, 86-63

DAYTONA BEACH -- Bethune-Cookman's Adrien Coleman hit 13 of 14 field goals on the way to a game-high 29 points, and all he could talk about after the game was defense.

Actually, just about everything went right for the Wildcats as they dismantled Volusia County rival Stetson 86-63 in a non-conference game Monday night at Moore Gymnasium.

 

B-CU (3-6) shot 63.5 percent from the field, forced 19 turnovers -- leading to 24 points -- and hit 7-of-14 3-pointers.
 

“When we play good defense it makes it easier for us to get out on transition and that makes the game much for fun for us,'' said Coleman, who got out on the break all night and also pulled down a game-high eight rebounds.
 

“He's a really good player,'' Stetson coach Casey Alexander said of the 6-5 Coleman. “He has a real knack to get to the basket and draw fouls.''
 

After losing three in a row, the Wildcats looked like they were having fun Monday. They jumped out to a 46-23 halftime lead, notching seven steals and hitting 20 of 29 shots from the field.
