LAFAYETTE, LA -- Leslie Nkereuwem scored a season-high 15 points and Toneari Lane scored 16 as Georgia State rallied for a 78-69 win at Louisiana. The Panthers snapped the Ragin' Cajuns seven-game winning streak as well as their own six-game losing streak.
"An unbelievable team effort," head coach Jonas Hayes said. "We weathered the storm early, and then to play as good of a second half against a team that good is a huge step forward. Our defense made huge strides, especially in the second half."
Georgia State (10-13, 5-7) trailed 39-30 at the intermission before outscoring the Ragin' Cajuns 48-30 in the second half.
