KENNESAW, Ga. (AP) — Markeith Cummings scored 18 points as Kennesaw State ended an eight-game losing streak Saturday with a 75-68 victory over Jacksonville.
That run of futility for the Owls (3-21, 2-10 Atlantic Sun Conference) began with a 99-92 triple-overtime loss Jan. 10 to Jacksonville (12-14), the Dolphins’ 12th consecutive victory in the series.
Cummings’ 3-pointer with 4:26 remaining broke a 59-59 tie, and his layup, followed by an Andrew Osemhen jumper, gave the Owls a 66-59 lead with 3:21 left.
Jacksonville got within three, but two free throws each by Delbert Love and Aaron Anderson restored a seven-point margin with 24 seconds remaining.
