HARRISONBURG, Va. – Despite a career-best 33 points from Makayia Hallmon and a 29-point fourth quarter, Troy came up one point short in an 80-79 loss at James Madison Saturday afternoon at the Atlantic Union Bank Center in a battle between the two top teams in the Sun Belt Conference.
Hallmon hit two 3-pointers in the final seven seconds of the game, including one with two seconds to play, but James Madison (17-3, 7-1 SBC) was able to run off the final two ticks on the clock to escape with the victory and first place in the league by a game over the Trojans (11-8, 6-2).
