ATLANTA – Troy snapped a three skid to Georgia State on Saturday with a 71-57 victory in Atlanta thanks in part to some clutch shooting down the stretch to pull away from the Panthers.
The Trojans shot 41.2 percent from the field on 28-68 shooting while holding Georgia State to just 38 percent on 24-of-63 shooting. Troy struggled early at the foul line, starting the game 1-for-11, including a stretch between the second and third quarters where they missed seven straight free throws before making nine straight to close out the game. They ended the contest shooting 50 percent from the charity stripe.
