Albany State Takes Final Moments, Escapes Past FVSU

ALBANY, Ga. – After working back from a first-half double-figure deficit, the Wildcats last production faltered. With 6:17 left, Albany State started a run of making six-straight free throws and held off Fort Valley State from recapturing the lead in a back-and-forth contest for the 73-64 men's basketball final Saturday night.
 
The Wildcats (5-17/4-9 SIAC East) edged ahead, 56-55, when Kenton Eskridge drained his third triple of the night at 6:52. It proved to be the visitors' last advantage. ASU (9-14/7-7 SIAC East) made two free throws 35 seconds later to return to the lead, 57-56, and never trailed again. A Ty'Reek Johnson layup pulled FVSU back to within a point, 59-58, at 5:08, but it could not pull any closer.
 
Eskridge guided the FVSU charge with 17 points on 6 of 11 attempts and handed out six assists. JaMarcus Scott added 12 points, 11 in the first half powered by three 3-pointers. Quincy Young pulled down a season-high 12 rebounds to go with seven points and three blocked shots.
 
ASU put four players in double digits with Maxwell Harris' 18 points as top honors.
 
The Golden Rams led the contest by as many as 11 points, 25-14, with 6:29 left in the opening 20 minutes. FVSU chipped away with the final two baskets for a 31-26 intermission deficit.
 
Johnson downed a trey for the first bucket of the second half for a FVSU two-point difference, 31-29. The visiting team kept pushing until a K.J. Doucet 3-point play make it 39-38 Wildcats with 15:18 to go. An Eskridge 3-pointer at 11:20 gave FVSU its largest lead of the contest, 46-43, but it could not build upon it as ASU answered with a tying triple.
 
FVSU returns right back to action in a Monday night, Feb. 14, affair at Morehouse College starting at 7:30 p.m.
