ATLANTA -- Georgia State fended off a vicious comeback attempt by SIUE on Sunday, hanging on to defeat the Cougars 74-73 at the GSU Sports Arena.
The Panthers trailed by eight with two minutes left in the first half before launching a 26-4 run that carried to the midway point of the 3rd quarter. GSU outscored SIUE 22-7 in the 3rd quarter and the Panthers would need all of those points as the Cougars stormed back late with 26 points in the final period.
Georgia State had arguably it's most efficient offensive night of the year so far.
