STATESBORO, Ga. -- Despite a career-best 23 points from freshman Kam Woods, the Troy men's basketball program dropped an extra-period heartbreaker Friday night at Hanner Fieldhouse.
Missing five scholarship players due to injury, the Trojans (6-6, 1-2 Sun Belt) also played the final 39 minutes of the series-opener without senior Nick Stampley, who exited the game six minutes in due to a blow to mouth.
Down by as many as 11 points in the second half, the feisty Trojans rose above the adversity in regulation, using an 11-3 run over the final 5:37 to send the contest into an extra session.
