Allen's 25 Points Leads Panthers Over Northeastern 83-64

Box Score ATLANTA-Senior Corey Allen finished with 25 points and the Georgia State men's basketball team earned an 83-64 win over former CAA foe Northeastern on Friday afternoon at the GSU Sports Arena.

Georgia State improved to 2-0 for the second-straight season, while Northeastern dropped to 0-2 after two tough road contests.

Allen finished with 20 or more points for the second-straight game going 10-of-19 from the floor with five 3-pointers and six assists. Fellow senior Justin Roberts added 22 points knocking down four 3-pointers, while redshirt-junior Nelson Phillips came off the bench to score 10 and added seven rebounds.

Northeastern was led by Chris Doherty and Nikola Djogo as each scored 14 points, while Jahmyl Telfort added 11 points.

Northeastern opened the game scoring the first five points, but Georgia State immediately responded with a 9-0 run, including six-straight points from Allen to take a 9-6 lead just over three minutes into the game.

The Panthers never lost the lead the rest of the half, though the Huskies cut GSU's lead to 18-17 before Georgia State responded with a 6-0 run to take a 24-17 lead with just under 11 minutes to play in the opening half.

After Jalen Thomas knocked down a jumper, was fouled, and made the free throw, Georgia State went ahead by double figures, 30-20, with 9:20 to play.

The double-digit lead was short lived and when Shaquille Walters hit a long range 3-pointer for Northeastern at the buzzer, the two teams went into the locker room tied 42-42.

Northeastern went 10-of-17 from 3-point range before the break, while Georgia State was 7-of-16.

On a 3-pointer by Northeastern's Nikola Djogo, the Huskies retook the lead 48-47 with 17:58 to play before the Panthers responded with a 12-0 run capped by a Williams jumper to give GSU a 59-48 lead with 14:45 remaining.

Georgia State continued to push the lead which reach 19, 71-52, following another Allen 3-pointer with 9:42 to play.

The Panthers held the Huskies to just 3-of-15 shooting from 3-point range in the second half after their hot start to the game.
Junior Jordan Rawls and freshman Ja'Heim Hudson each scored seven points for the Panthers.
