Blackmon not only had a big week numbers-wise, but delivered for Saint Francis U when it mattered most in a pair of wins that lifted the Red Flash’s NEC record to 6-4 on the year. Blackmon put up 22.5 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, and did not commit a turnover in 68 minutes of play. He shot 63.0 percent from the field, including a scorching 80.0 percent from three-point range, drilling 8-10 shots from beyond the arc. In Thursday’s 72-67 win at Wagner, he hit all six of his second half shots and scored seven straight points over the last 2+ minutes, culminating with a layup with 18 seconds to play that gave the Flash a three-point edge. Blackmon finished with a game and career-high 25 points on 10-14 shooting, including 4-5 from downtown. He added five rebounds, three assists and a pair of steals. In Saturday’s rivalry game with Robert Morris, the Charlotte, NC native scored eight points in overtime and hit the go-ahead three-pointer with 27 seconds remaining in an 89-83 SFU victory. Blackmon tied for game-scoring honors with 20 points and once again hit 4-5 shots from distance. The NEC’s leading long range shooter is now hitting at a 51.5 percent rate from three-point territory on the year and is averaging 12.9 ppg for the Red Flash. In league play he leads SFU with 16.7 ppg and has hit 17-28 (.607) from long range.
