Smith’s basket and free throw got the lead back for State, but Brown countered with a basket and free throw of his own, and the Tigers were back in front 49-47 with 7:37 remaining.

They were still in front 56-52 at the 3:00 mark, but Smith’s layup and three late free throws helped the Bulldogs outscore the Tigers 5-1 the rest of the way.
