The story of the victory outside of Crawford was the contributions from the bench.

Dravon Mangum (10 pts & 8 rebs) & Devin Ree (8 pls, 4 rebs, & 2 assts) ignited the 'Dogs, especially in the second half.

A quick 6-0 run out of the break gave Jacksonville State a 31-30 lead. Talvin Hester would insert Mangum & Ree and the 'Dogs were off to the races out-scoring the Gamecocks by 12 points over the next 15 minutes of game action to take the commanding lead.

Terri Miller also had his best game of the season with 6 points and 3 assists in 16 minutes off the bench.

Great team win on Saturday.
