Well they stopped the game to get the correct time remaining in the game.
Impressive come back
If there’s one positive to take away from this season so far is that these guys never stop battling...I think a tough season like this and grinding non-stop will go a long way towards building these young men up for future success
Tide turned with refs when one of our court side fans was removed. Was looking bad earlier in second half when GAST's big man came flying down for a dunk and one of their guys moved our defender down past the baseline under the goal with no call. That mentally was tough. Of course, one bucket in 9 minutes didn't help.
Heck of a play drawn up at end, everyone executed well. Wilson's maturity showed, laid the ball in instead of dunking. Gutty win considering 38 point beat down a few weeks ago. Ced and Malik didn't play in that game. Some of you will love the comments from GAST board.

Cajuns have won 5 of last 6 when Wilson plays. The one loss was at Texas State which is playing as well as anyone in league right now. I had turned to my wife during the last timeout and told her No. 13 will get the ball and try to get to rim. For once one of my predictions came through. That guy is obviously the key to whatever success we have had and will have. However the tide turned when Cedric Russell started driving to the goal and getting fouled. He was mentally tough enough to knock them all down. Those drives helped get him open on the last two big threes. Georgia State coach took the air out of the ball too early and stayed in that mode too long. Also, he had success in zone and did not stay in it long enough in my view. We did start to find the open spots in it and some of the drives Cedric had were against zone. Maybe that is why he got out of it too early. Still, this one sure has a sweet taste tonight. Really pleased for all in the program that they get to celebrate this one, especially considering the opponent and what they have gone through this season. Kudos to them for not giving up after being down double figures midway through second half. It would have been easy to throw in towel but they kept battling. For those counting, Coach owes 700 to cancer fund and I owe a little as well. Happy to do it considering the circumstances.
Walked by locker room on way out. That was a great sound to hear. Everyone in there deserved the moment.
FT shooting by both teams was lights out. GAST 17-18, UL 19-20.
Thank You, ZOOMZOOM!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.....noticed before Russel hit the last 3 that he and Wilson were shifted to the right...Marlin got them to the left and finally Russel to the point area where he drilled the 3....Marlin had to want Russel there for his shooting the 3...if that is what transpired....great coaching!
Huge win considering opponent and the big momentum swings. To put things in perspective the ESPN win probability had GA St at 96% at the 3:33 mark and still as high as 78% before Russell hit the 3 at the 1:05 mark.
