Rodrick Sikes hit a 3-pointer with 18.5 seconds left to rally South Alabama from an 8-point deficit and defeat New Orleans 55-52 Sunday afternoon.
Sikes, who finished with a game-high 15 points, scored six of USA's final seven points. His triple with 2:02 left also gave the Jaguars (4-3) the lead.
"I'm really pleased with the outcome, getting the win," USA coach Matthew Graves said. "I told our team in the locker room that wins are hard to get. Good, bad, ugly, indifferent, a win is a win at this point. We're struggling offensively, but we found a way to get the job done.
