Panthers Nail 12 Treys in 75-66 Win over Rhode Island

ATLANTA -- Four players scored in double figures and Georgia State shot a season best 12-for-25 from 3-point range as the Panthers overcame a 12-point first-half deficit to earn a 75-66 win over Rhode Island Sunday at the GSU Convocation Center.

Brenden Tucker scored 15 points, and Dwon Odom had 14 points and a career-high eight assists to lead Georgia State (6-5). Evan Johnson (14 points) and Jamaine Mann (10 points) also reached double figures off the bench, while Ja'Heim Hudson and Kalik Brooks scored nine points each. 

Georgia State's 12 3-pointers came from five different players. Tucker, Mann and Brooks hit three each, Johnson hit two and Hudson added one.

"I cannot stress enough how proud I am of our guys for putting a little bit of adversity the first half behind them and then being able to play our brand of basketball," head coach Jonas Hayes said.

"We shot a lot of threes, but more importantly, the quality of our shots was good." 

Rhode Island (4-8) led 36-35 at the intermission and still led 42-38 two minutes into the second half when back-to-back treys by Tucker and Mann gave the Panthers their first lead at 44-42 with 16 minutes left. Freshman center Edward Nnamoko added a putback for a 46-42 advantage, and Georgia State never trailed the rest of the way.

The Rams managed to tie the game at 49-all with a steal and basket at the 11:29 mark, but Georgia State answered on Mann's 3-pointer.

The Panthers led 60-57 with just over seven minutes to play when Johnson passed to Hudson for a layup, and then on the other end, Johnson grabbed a steal and fed Odom for a dunk and a 65-57 advantage with 6:56 left. After a pair of Rhode Island free throws, Georgia State scored nine straight points to build a 73-59 lead with 2:12 left in the game. 

"That got the crowd going and we were able to kick it into another gear," Odom said of his dunk.

Rhode Island (4-8) had the advantage early, building a 27-15 lead 11 minutes into the game. GSU trailed 29-18 when Brooks' 3-pointer started a 7-0 run to pull the Panthers within 29-25 with five mnutes left in the first half. 

A trey by Johnson made it 33-30 with two minutes left, and after Tucker hit one of two free throws, Johnson tied the game at 33-all with a short jumper with 52 seconds left in the first half. Rhode Island answered on a 3-pointer by Brayon Freeman, who scored a game-high 21 points, but Johnson's floater with 19 seconds left sent the Panthers into the locker room trailing by one at 36-35.

Georgia State outrebounded the Rams 33-29, including 12 offensive rebounds that led to 17 second-chance points. In his post-game interview, Hayes noted that Rhode Island grabbed six offensive rebounds in the first eight minutes, but then the Panthers only allowed three the rest of the way.

Another positive stat were Georgia State's 16 assists on 26 baskets.

"We did move the ball well today, and that's something that Coach put an emphasis on," Odom said. "We were able to find open guys. I just try to stay poised and get my teammates involved."

Georgia State plays its final non-conference game Wednesday, hosting Toccoa Falls in a 12 p.m. tipoff at the GSU Convocation Center. For tickets, visit GeorgiaStateSports.com/tix or call 404-413-4020 during business hours.
