WASHINGTON (11/17/2016) – Deven Simms, fouled after stealing an inbounds pass, made two free throws with 12 seconds remaining to help Arkansas State hold off a furious Georgetown rally for a 78-72 victory on Thursday night at McDonough Arena.
A-State (2-1) built a lead of 23 points late in the first half before carrying a 48-29 advantage to halftime. Georgetown used a 22-7 run, capped by two free throws from L.J. Peak, to close within 74-72 with 50 seconds remaining.
A free throw by C.J. Foster made it 75-72 before Simms' steal and free throws. A-State got the ball back on a charge then lost it on a steal by Jagan Mosley, but Pryor's rushed 3-pointer with four seconds left missed.
