Southern stings ASU in SWAC Semifinals, 68-66

HOUSTON, Texas  – On paper, the Alabama State men's basketball team shouldn't have been in contention with 2.8 seconds remaining in Friday's Southwestern Athletic Conference semifinal.

The second-seeded Hornets (19-10) were outshot 42.6 percent to 30.2 percent and didn't score their first field goal against third-seeded Southern (18-16) until more than 8 minutes into the game.

But ASU built a 10-point second-half lead, before falling to the Jaguars, 68-66, in the semifinals on Friday afternoon at the Toyota Center.

Southern senior forward Keith Davis was driving to the lane when ASU senior guard DeMarcus Robinson was called for a foul.
