Bobcat Men's Basketball: No Montalvo, no problem for Texas State in first round win over defending champions

NEW ORLEANS — Bobby Conley got his chance to shine on Thursday night against Georgia State.

Unfortunately for Texas State, it happened at Ethan Montalvo's expense.

With Montalvo off the court due to a possible concussion and the Bobcats staring at a quick exit to the Sun Belt Tournament, Conley was called upon to stem the tide.

The junior, who hadn't logged more than nine minutes in any of Texas State's prior four games, didn't disappoint, either, as he delivered the biggest shot of his team's season to date.

Conley's go-ahead 3-pointer with 2.3 seconds left in regulation boosted the Bobcats to a 63-61 victory over the Panthers and into the quarterfinals of the SBC Tournament where they'll meet up with No.
