Final Stats
JACKSONVILLE – Jacksonville State dropped its third-straight Ohio Valley Conference home contest as Tennessee-Martin edged the Gamecocks, 74-67, on Saturday at Pete Mathews Coliseum.
JSU, who wrapped up its lone January homestand, dropped to 6-12 overall and 3-4 in the OVC. The Skyhawks of UTM maintained its status in the top half of the league with the win. UTM moved to 5-2 in the OVC after falling Thursday night at Tennessee Tech.
After jumping out to a 19-4 lead at the 12:55 mark of the first half, JSU went cold from the field, while UTM put together a 23-6 run over the last 12:55 of the half to erase Jax State's 15-point lead. The Skyhawks took their first lead at 27-25 with 18 seconds left in the half and would take that same margin into the halftime break. Over the final 12:55, JSU posted all 12 of its first half turnovers during that stretch and knocked down just two baskets and a pair of free throws.
After a brief 28-27 JSU lead thanks to a three-pointer by Brittany Wiley, the Skyhawks regained the lead on the next trip down the floor as Jasmine Newsome answered with a lay up. Newsome poured in a game-high 30 points to guide UTM to the win. UTM scored 46 of its 74 points in the paint as it posted 19 lay ups – 13 in the second half alone.
UTM took a pair of 14-point leads in the second half, the red and White trimmed the deficit down to single digits with just under the four-minute mark of the second half and got within four points on two occasions as time was winding down. JSU clawed its way back into the contest after knocking down five treys in the final 20 minutes and finished with eight in the game.
Junior Brittany Manning paced the Gamecocks in scoring with a career-best 25 points. The Huntsville, Ala.-native drained five shots from beyond the three-point arc. Manning, who claimed OVC Newcomer of the Week honors this past week, also pulled down seven rebounds in her 38 minutes of action. Wiley, continued her string of consecutive double-digit scoring outputs to nine games and nearly carded a triple-double. The Carrollton, Ga.-product finished with 17 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. Earning her first start since the Florida State contest, Destiny Lane added 11 points in the setback. Danielle Vaughn pulled down a team-best ten boards.
UTM's Jaclissa Haislip registered a double-double with ten points and a game-high 13 rebounds. JSU held UTM's leading scorer, Heather Newsome in check as the freshman was held to a season-low 11 points. She entered the contest averaging 20 points per contest.
JSU will embark on its second four-game road trip of the season on Thursday, Jan. 20 as it travels to Nashville, Tenn. to face Tennessee State. Following the TSU contest, JSU continues north of Nashville to Clarksville, Tenn. on Saturday against Austin Peay. Both match ups will tip off at 5:15 p.m. and can be heard on the Gamecock Sports Network.
