Panthers Drop Regular-Season Finale at JMU

Four Panthers (10-20, 3-15) scored in double figures, led by Brenden Tucker and Collin Moore with 16 points each. Jamaine Mann added 14 points and seven rebounds, while Dwon Odom chipped in 10 points, five rebounds and four assists. Kalik Brooks had eight points, four rebounds and two steals off the bench.

But it was a tale of two halves for the Panthers, who shot 56 percent in first half, including 6-for-8 from beyond the arc, to take a 40-36 lead into the locker room. But GSU managed to hit just 7-of-26 field goals after the intermission. Meanwhile JMU (21-10, 12-6) shot 61 percent in the second half to outscore Georgia State 56-29.

"Our guys fought with an intensity that wasn't there last game, but we weren't able to put two halves together," head coach Jonas Hayes said. "But a new season starts Tuesday."

The Panthers will open play in the Sun Belt Conference Championship in Pensacola, Fla., on Tuesday. The official bracket will be released by the Sun Belt later tonight.
