LAFAYETTE – Isaiah Williams and D'Marcus Simonds each scored a game-high 24 points and Georgia State shot a blistering 62 percent from the floor in defeating the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns, 101-86, in a Sun Belt Conference men's basketball game on Monday at the Cajundome.
Jeremy Hollowell added 19 points and Devin Mitchell 11 as Georgia State (10-7, 3-2 SBC) went 36-for-58 (62.1 percent) from the floor and 10 of 19 (52.6 percent) from behind the 3-point line for the game.
The Panthers, who shot 17-for-28 from the floor (60.7 percent) and 8-for-12 from behind the 3-point arc in the first half, never trailed as a three-point play by Hollowell gave GSU an 8-7 lead with 17:38 remaining in the first half.
Louisiana (12-6, 2-3 SBC) closed to within 23-21 on a pair of Jerekius Davis free throws with 10:31 remaining in the half, but Georgia State would score the next eight points to push the lead to 31-21 as Mitchell drained a pair of 3-pointers and Willie Clayton sank a pair of free throws.
Jeff Thomas sank a 3-pointer as the first-half buzzer sounded, giving Georgia State a 53-42 lead at halftime before the Panthers pushed their lead to 68-48 when Hollowell converted on a three-point play with 14:24 left.
The Ragin' Cajuns battled back, getting as close as 78-67 on a Johnathan Stove layup with 8:52 remaining, but Simonds scored on a layup and added a dunk before a bucket by Williams gave Georgia State an 84-67 lead with 7:40 remaining.
Louisiana finished 22-for-58 (37.9 percent) from the floor and 36-for-42 (85.7 percent) from the free throw line.
