BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - It was the perfect ending to a homecoming game for MTSU senior and Birmingham native JaCorey Williams, who knocked down a game-winning jumper from the free-throw line with four seconds left to defeat UAB, 66-64, on Sunday.
"It was an incrediblae feeling," Williams said following his 15-point, five-rebound performance. "I'm just thankful that my teammates trusted me to have the ball in my hands. I practice that shot every day so it meant a lot to have that opportunity."
The Blazers got off a three that would have won the game, but it bounced off the back of the rim as the buzzer sounded to give the Blue Raiders an outright Conference USA regular season championship.
