Panthers Fall 63-60 to Old Dominion

ATLANTA -- Georgia State came up just short in a 63-60 loss to Old Dominion Thursday night at the GSU Convocation Center.

The game featured 10 lead changes and 12 ties, the last one at 53-all with 3:58 left. Old Dominion scored six straight points over the next minute to take a 59-53 lead with 2:58 to play, but the Panthers clawed back with five straight points, pulling within 59-58 on Ja'Heim Hudson's three-point play with 1:40 to go.

After a bucket by ODU (15-10, 7-6), Kalik Brooks' putback for GSU again made it a one-point game at 61-60 with a minute left. A steal by Jamaine Mann gave the Panthers the chance to tie or take the lead at the free throw line with 36 seconds left, but Dwon Odom, an 82 percent free throw shooter, could not get either one to go down. 

"Gut-wrenching way for us to drop a game," head coach Jonas Hayes said. "I do think our guys played hard. We've got to play a little smarter, but I do give a lot of credit to Old Dominion."

Hudson and Odom led Georgia State (10-15, 3-10) with 15 points each, combining to go 13-for-16 from the field, and Mann scored 12 for his fifth-straight game in double figures. Hudson pulled down eight rebounds, and Odom handed out five assists.

Both teams started slowly and shot below 35 percent in the first half, but the Panthers got hot in the second half, hitting 16-of-26 from the field (.615) after the intermission. Trailing 29-22 at the break, Georgia State opened the second half with a 10-2 run to take a 33-31 lead four minutes in. From there, neither team led by more than two until ODU's late run.

"The ball was sticking a little too much and we settled for a few too many threes [in the first half]," Hayes said. "The second half, we shot 62 percent from the field as we settled in to playing our type of offense." 

Georgia State plays its fourth straight home game Saturday, hosting Marshall at the GSU Convocation Center. For tickets, visit GeorgiaStateSports.com or call 404-413-4020 during business hours.
