Fourth-Quarter Comeback Comes Up Short

GSU scored 28 points in the final period in a loss to Louisiana Thursday.

ATLANTA -- Georgia State scored a season-high 28 points in the final quarter Thursday against Louisiana, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Ragin' Cajuns who escaped the Sports Arena with a 75-65 victory.

Four Panthers finished in double figures led by Jada Lewis with 12 points, nine of which came in the final 10 minutes.

Allison Johnson, Taylor Hosendove, and Taylor Henderson each finished with 11 points. Shaq Miller-McCray narrowly missed a double-double with nine points, 12 rebounds and four blocks.

Georgia State fell behind early and Louisiana spent the majority of the contest fighting off runs by the Panthers. LA pulled away late in the first half and took a 15-point lead (35-20) to the locker room.

GSU played a much better second half but it wouldn't be enough to overcome the Ragin' Cajuns' 3-point shooting. Louisiana shot 8-for-17 from long range while GSU made just three 3-pointers on 20 attempts.

The Panthers continue the opening weekend of Sun Belt play Saturday against ULM at noon on ESPN+.
