STATESBORO – Kaden Archie hit the go-ahead bucket with 19 seconds on the clock, and Georgia Southern made it hold up with a defensive stop for its second straight one-point Sun Belt men's basketball victory, a 58-57 triumph over South Alabama Thursday night in Hanner Fieldhouse.
Archie drove to the basket, and his runner kissed off the glass and in as the shot clock expired to put the Eagles up by one point. Diante Smith's 3-point try from the corner was short for South Alabama, and Elijah McCadden and Archie tied up Kayo Goncalves on the rebound, giving the Eagles the ball under the Jags' basket with 1.
