Little Rock slips past Georgia Southern for 56-54 win

Maurius Hill and Marcus Johnson Jr. each went 2 for 2 from the line and then Andre Jones got back-to-back layups to trail 54-53 and Little Rock called its final timeout with 17 seconds left.
The Trojans inbounded from the sideline, tried penetrating from the top of the key but then shoveled it back Osse, who fired the winning 3 from the right wing.
Georgia Southern's Ike Smith missed a layup as time expired.
Hill and Johnson Jr. got 11 points each for Little Rock.
Jake Allsmiller led Georgia Southern (18-12, 11-6) with 19 points and Smith had 15.
