Allen’s 28 Leads Panthers to 83-80 Overtime Victory Over Dartmouth

Box Score ATLANTA-Redshirt-junior Corey Allen scored 28 points and knocked down eight 3-pointers to lead Georgia State to an 83-80 overtime victory over Dartmouth on Tuesday night at the GSU Sports Arena.

Georgia State (5-3) won its second overtime contest in as many games, extended its winning streak to four-straight and has now won nine-straight games at home dating back to last season, the fifth-longest streak in school history.

After scoring eight points in the first half, Allen caught fire in the second half finishing the game 10-of-20 from the floor, including 8-of-15 from 3-point range while also pulling down seven rebounds.

Dartmouth (5-3) lost for the second-straight time despite a near double-double of 23 points and nine rebounds from Chris Knight. James Foye led the Big Green with 25 points while also pulling down five rebounds.

"Proud of our guys as we earned a really good win against a really good team," head coach Rob Lanier said. "We knew they were going to be good and a very similar style of play as compared to Charlotte a week ago, but a much better 3-point shooting team. What they do is very tough to simulate in practice and we knew we were going to have to execute a lot of discipline and we didn't do a great job of that, but we did good enough to come out with the win tonight."

Junior Kane Williams once again filled up the box score finishing with 16 points, eight rebounds, and four assists. Freshman Jalen Thomas earned his first career start and finished with seven points and six rebounds in just over 22 minutes.

Dartmouth took an early 16-8 lead with 12:02 to play in the opening half as the Panthers missed 12 of their first 17 shots.

Georgia State started to heat up late in the half and on back-to-back 3-pointers by Allen and Nelson Phillips took a 22-21 lead with 5:50 to play, the Panthers first lead since being ahead 2-0.

Dartmouth hit back-to-back 3-pointers and used an 8-0 run with under two minutes to play to lead 32-26 before Georgia State scored the final five points of the half and went into the locker room trailing by just one.

Allen came out and knocked down back-to-back 3-pointers to start the second half, which was followed by a Williams 3-pointer to give the Panthers a 40-36 lead with 18:17 to play.

Another 3-pointer by Williams capped an 8-0 Georgia State run to give the Panthers a 53-45 lead with 11:27 remaining after the game was tied at 45.

The Big Green immediately responded with a 7-0 run and trailed by just one with 7:28 to play before retaking the lead 57-55 with just over five minutes to play in the game.
A 3-pointer by Foye gave Dartmouth a 67-65 lead with 56 seconds to play. Thomas responded with a lay-up for the Panthers to tie the game with 36 seconds left, before Taurus Samuels made a jumper for the Big Green to go back up by two with 13 seconds remaining.

Allen's jumper from just inside the 3-point arch with 1.2 seconds to play sent the game into overtime.

The two teams went back and forth in overtime as the Panthers went 7-of-8 from the free throw line in the extra frame. After a Williams putback put Georgia State up 79-77 with 44 seconds to play, the Panthers got a stop and Williams followed with two free throws to put GSU ahead by four with 24 seconds remaining.

Foye followed with a 3-pointer for Dartmouth with 13.3 seconds left on the clock, but senior Damon Wilson was able to get open on the other end of the court and threw down a dunk to secure the win. Wilson finished with six points and four rebounds.

Junior Josh Linder added nine points for the Panthers while freshman Joe Jones III chipped in seven.

Aaryn Rai added nine points and six rebounds for Dartmouth while Taurus Samuels finished with eight.

Notes:

The Panthers improved to 3-0 all-time against members of the Ivy League.
Corey Allen's eight 3-pointers are tied for the seventh-most in program history. The last time a Panther made eight 3-pointers in a game came just last season when Malik Benlevi knocked down eight against Georgia in the third-place game of the Cayman Islands Classic.
With a 3-pointer on Tuesday, Georgia State has made at least one 3-pointer in 756 games dating back to Feb. 18, 1995.
Since the start of the 2013-14 season, the Panthers have won 139 games, the most of any NCAA Division 1 program in the state of Georgia.

Georgia State will return to the road and make the short drive down I-75 to face in-state foe Mercer on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. The game will air live on ESPN+.
