 RE-CAP
E. KENTUCKY 72 JACKSONVILLE ST. 71 loser
MURRAY ST. 77 TENN. ST. 52 winner
We get a split on the night with Murray starting to play like the conference champs they will be and Jacksonville St. falling behind by 9 at half and then mounting a second half comeback that fell just short of getting into overtime. With the game tied at 71 all the Gamecocks fouled Matt Witt with 1.2 seconds on the clock. He hit the front end of the 1 and 1 and the game was over. Another tough way to lose. This was a huge game for Jacksonville St. at home and they came out slow and just couldn't recover from the bad first half.
1-1 on the night.
