MOBILE, Ala. – The University of South Alabama men's basketball team rallied from 11 points down in the second half to take the lead but a key 3-pointer with 37.2 seconds left was enough to give Georgia State a 69-66 win Thursday night at the Mitchell Center.
South Alabama (9-9, 2-3 Sun Belt) took the lead in the second half for the first time with 1:39 left on a jumper from Josh Ajayi. Kane Williams made two free throws after a pair of offensive rebounds on Georgia State's (14-4, 5-0) next possession, then after a USA turnover, Jeff Thomas hit a corner '3' to put the Panthers up 68-64.
