ARLINGTON, Texas (3/10/20) – Juniors Morgan Wallace and Peyton Martin posted double-double performances, but Arkansas State's season came to an end in a hard-fought 82-71 decision to South Alabama in the first round of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament Tuesday night at the College Park Center.
The Red Wolves (11-19) clawed back from a 22-point deficit to cut it down to three early in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Jaguars (15-16) 30-17 in the third, but USA hit late free throws down the stretch to pull away with the win.
"(South Alabama) is a resilient bunch," head coach Matt Daniel said.
