MOBILE, Ala. – Georgi Boyanov scored 20 points and hit the game-winning free throws with 29.8 seconds left to thwart Georgia Southern's comeback bid and lift South Alabama to an 80-76 Sun Belt Conference men's basketball victory over the Eagles Saturday evening in the Mitchell Center.
The Eagles trailed by 17 points with 5:42 to play but used a 21-2 run, aided by four 3-pointers, to tie the score 76-76 with 51 seconds left. Boyanov was fouled on his way to the hoop on the Jaguars' next possession and made both to put South Alabama back on top.
