BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Jamel Waters field goal with .05 left in the game gave Alabama State a stunning 56-54 win at Southern to keep pace with Texas Southern at the top of the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC).
"Tough ball game and we knew coming in it was going to be a tough battle as it was in Montgomery," coach Lewis Jackson said. "We told the guys we just had to stay close and we are not going to do everything right but stay positive with each other and continue to work, make plays and try to get stops."
"We didn't do all those things right, but we did well enough to pull out the win."
Waters field goal completed a comeback by the Hornets in which they trailed 52-47 with 4:30 left in the game. Luther Page hit a free throw to cut the lead to four with 3:25 left in the game and a Brandon Graham dunk cut the lead to 52-50 with 2:47 left.
