MONROE, La. (2/1/20) – For the second game in a row, Jireh Washington hit the shot that would prove to be the game-winner, but this time, it came from the foul line.
After drawing a foul with 1.8 seconds to go on the clock with the game tied at 53, Washington's first attempt rimmed out. Calm and collected, Washington took a breath and knocked down the second shot, giving A-State (9-11, 6-3 SBC) the lead. After ULM (3-17, 1-8) took a timeout that advanced the ball into its half of the court, Morgan Wallace deflected the inbounds pass with Jada Ford right there to steal it away and preserve the 54-53 Red Wolves victory on Saturday at Fant-Ewing Coliseum.
