Justin Wright-Foreman Drops 30

January 2nd, 2017

Hofstra’s Justin Wright-Foreman dropped a career-high 30 points tonight in CAA Conference action against rival William & Mary. Unfortunately it was in an OT defeat as nemesis Daniel Dixon sticks a knife in Hofstra fans hearts once again with a 3 pointer at the buzzer from waaaay beyond the 3 point line. Dixon sent Hofstra home packing from the CAA Semi-finals two years ago with a shot at the buzzer in Double OT.

Back to iLuvBBall Alum via the HS for Construction, Justin scored his 30 in a variety of ways. He shot 10-15 from the field, was 3 for 5 from downtown, and 7 for 11 from the Free Throw line. He also tied his career-best with eight rebounds, and had 2 assists in 31 minutes of play.

This is Justin’s 5th game in a row putting up some good scoring numbers since going for 14 against powerhouse Kentucky. He is averaging 19.4 points per game in these last 5, including a then career-high 22 points against Stony Brook, to go along with tonight’s career-high 30 points. Justin & Hofstra will look to get back on track Thursday when it hosts James Madison at 7 p.m. Another good game like this, and hopefully the W, just may earn Justin the CAA Player of the week. ?
