EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – Gianni Cobb's three-pointer as time expired, lifted SIUE men's basketball to a 70-67 exhibition win over Arkansas State Saturday afternoon at First Community Arena.
Cobb drove up the right side of the floor following an inbound play and worked toward the right wing, after getting tied up by two ASU players he worked back to his left, knocking down the 25-foot shot as time ran out.
ASU's Layne Taylor hit a three-pointer with six seconds to play tied the score at 67 before SIUE got the ball back.
Cobb, a transfer from Northern Illinois, finished with seven points. SIUE senior Tyler King led all scorers with 25 points. Fellow senior Jordan Pickett scored 13. Freshman Brennan Miller pulled in a game-high 15 rebounds.
Royal Blue Smith paced ASU with 20 points. Amadou Doumbia finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds.
