Panthers Fall to Tulsa at Holiday Classic

ATLANTA -- Georgia State battled with undefeated Tulsa Saturday at the GSU Holiday Classic, but the Golden Hurricane pulled away late to win 67-55.

The Panthers were tough defensively in the first quarter and held a three-point lead after 10 minutes. Tulsa got things going just before halftime to lead 24-22 at the break.

GSU kept things close in the third but fell behind by double digits in the fourth quarter as Tulsa heated up from deep. The Golden Hurricane hit 5-of-7 3-pointers in the final period to lead by as much as 18. GSU ended the game on a 6-0 run to narrow the gap.

Taylor Henderson led GSU with 16 points on an efficient 7-for-15 shooting performance. Moriah Taylor scored nine points after knocking down three long balls in a span of four minutes in the second half. 

Tulsa, who improved to 9-0 with the win, shot 44% from the field while GSU finished at 36%. 

The Panthers host Charleston Southern Sunday at 2 p.m. to close out the GSU Holiday Classic and their non-conference schedule. GSU starts Sun Belt play at home Dec. 30 vs. Little Rock.
