ATLANTA – The cliché that good defense beats good offense proved itself again in Saturday’s 60-52 win by South Alabama over Georgia State in Sun Belt Conference women’s basketball.
Georgia State, an up-tempo team that averages 72.2 points per game, got slowed down into South Alabama’s half-court tempo and defense that allows an average 55.9 points per game, No. 42 in the NCAA.
Host GSU forced shots and finished 29.3 percent from the field (17 of 58). And, 10 of those shots attempts never even got to the basket as South Alabama blocked all 10 today. South Alabama was No.
