Yellow Jackets Pull Upset, Sting Wildcats

FORT VALLEY, Ga. – The Wildcats was unable to gain control of the action Saturday afternoon. Allen University made the plays it needed down the stretch and held off the Fort Valley State comeback in a 77-70 men's basketball upset on Saturday afternoon.

Down by two, 30-28, at half, the Wildcats (8-9/6-4 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference East) came out strong with a Khadim Samb 3-pointer and a pair of K.J. Doucet free throws to edge ahead, 33-30, only 1:56 in the second 20 minutes. A Joe Williams dunk gave the home team what would be its final lead, 36-35, at 17:42.

Myson Lowe drained a trey with 13:20 to tie the game, 43-43, but Allen answered with the next five points and never lost the lead over the final 12:47. FVSU pulled to within a single point two more times, 48-47 and 54-53, but Allen (2-13/2-8 SIAC East) made the plays it needed for the upset.

Doucet guided the Wildcats with 22 points on 6 of 13 shooting, including making all nine of his free throws. He also handed out a team-best four assists to go with five rebounds. Samb added 13 points on 5 of 8 attempts and grabbed eight rebounds. Lowe finished with 13 points of his own. Williams had 10 rebounds on the glass.

FVSU did outrebound its guest, 45-32, but it committed twice the turnovers, 15-8.

Chase Cook paced the Yellow Jackets with 22 points as one of four in double digits for points.

FVSU moves on to host Benedict College on Monday night, Jan. 16. Tip is set for approximately 7:30 p.m.
