Aztecs hang on for 63-57 win against College of Charleston

The Aztecs (28-6) brought their defense prowess against The College of Charleston (31-4) on Thursday in Orlando and held them to 23 points below their season average in a 63-57 victory. The Aztecs were workmanlike, struggling on offense to gain any consistency. They shot nearly 43% from the field, were 4-16 from three and continued to struggle with free throws, making only 11-18. If the game were any closer, one might point to the ongoing struggles from the stripe, as serious causes for concern. A nice bright spot were 7 blocks by the Aztecs while out-rebounding the Cougars 40-34.
