Cousin nets double digits in loss (Basketball)
Anchorage’s Anthony Cousin provided one of the few highlights for the Illinois State University basketball team last night.
The sophomore guard came off the bench to deliver a game-high 12 points in a 64-53 home loss to Missouri Valley Conference foe Creighton University. He logged 21 minutes and made 4 of 7 shots from the field, including a pair of 3s, and 2 of 5 free throws.
Cousin, of South High fame, is averaging 5 points through his first 12 games at the NCAA D1 level.
The transfer from Butler Community College has actually been scoring more as a reserve than as a starter.
In six games as a starter, Cousin has averaged 4 points and 2 assists. In the six games he’s come off the bench he has averaged 6 points and 1.5 assists.
His season high is 14 points and the dozen he bagged last night was just his second double-figure performance of the season.
