MOBILE, Ala. – In the closing seconds, South Alabama's Kelsey Thompson hit a driving lay-up for the game-winning basket as Texas State had its three-game winning streak snapped on Saturday with a 45-43 loss to the Jaguars at the Mitchell Center.
After trailing for most of the game, the Bobcats (13-6, 5-3 Sun Belt) were up three with a minute-and-a-half to go, but Thompson hit a step-back three-pointer with a minute left to tie the game at 43-43. Texas State had the opportunity for the go-ahead points on the ensuing possession, but a missed three-point turnover by Ja'Kayla Bowie followed by an offensive rebound that resulted in a shot-clock violation turned the ball back over to the Jaguars.
