ATLANTA (AP) — Jihad Ali rebounded a missed shot and made a layup as time expired to lift Georgia State to a 64-63 victory over James Madison in the Colonial Athletic Association opener for both teams Saturday.
Brandon McGee scored 15 points to lead the Panthers (3-3), who snapped the Dukes’ six-game winning streak.
After Devon Moore made 1 of 2 free throws to put James Madison ahead by one, Georgia State inbounded the ball with 2.7 seconds remaining.
Harold Doby found Marques Johnson, who had a good look from the wing, but the Dukes’ Andrey Semenov deflected the shot. Ali grabbed the rebound under the basket and laid it in for the win.
