"We had six in a row going and you hate to see that kind of stuff end," said UWA head coach Allen Sharpe. "We knew it was going to be a challenge coming in here and trying to defend this team. I just hate it for the guys, because they really wanted this one."

The Wolves shot 5-of-7 from the 3-point arc in the first half, while the Tigers failed to sink any of their four attempts. Deontre Brown hit a 3-point field goal as the first half expired to give UWG a 26-25 lead. Both teams finished just above 30 percent from the field in the first half.

The Tigers continued to fight, cutting the deficit to two points on a Charles Eaton 3-pointer with 14 seconds left. The Wolves secured the win at the free throw line, shooting 11-of-12 in the second half.

"We knew at the half, with their score being so low that they would make adjustments," Sharpe said.

"We had the score right where we wanted it in the first half, but in the second, it just got out of control. We didn't do a good enough job defending in the second half. We cannot give up 83 points and expect to win. We fought and made it a game there at the end, but we just gave up too many points in the second half."

Deonte Stocks led UWG with 20 points; 17 in the second half. Stocks was 8-of-16 from the field and 2-of-2 from the 3-point arc. West Georgia improved its field goal percentage in the second half, hitting 20-of-37.
