ATLANTA, Ga. – Troy trailed by four at the break against Georgia State on Thursday, but the Trojans exploded out of the gate in the second half en route to a crucial 83-70 victory.

Just over two minutes into the final frame, Javan Johnson hit a contested 3-pointer while being fouled. He hit the free throw, which was the start of a 14-3 run the Trojans (15-15, 9-8) went on in the first eight minutes to silent the home crowd.

Georgia State (20-10, 11-6) seemingly had no answer to the dynamic offensive threat the Trojans employed as Jordon Varnado bullied his way to 26 points and eight rebounds while Kevin Baker added 17 off the bench fueled by five 3-pointers.
