The loss represented the third straight for the &#8216;Phins.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday&#8217;s result moved JU to 9-16 overall and 4-8 in conference play. The win by West Georgia was their first in three games total against Jacksonville.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/mens-basketball\/roster\/jaylen-jones\/7925\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"7925\" target=\"_blank\">Jaylen Jones<\/a> kept up his double-digit scoring streak he started at Queens on Thursday, matching his career high in scoring with a team-high 19 points. Jones and <a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/mens-basketball\/roster\/hayden-wood\/7926\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"7926\" target=\"_blank\">Hayden Wood<\/a>, 12 points, were the team&#8217;s only double-digit scorers in Carrollton.<\/p>\n<p>Jacksonville and UWG had a competitive first half, going into halftime tied at 35. JU battled back from multiple seven-point deficits to keep the game tied, closing the half on a 6-3 run.<\/p>\n<p>The second half was where Jacksonville lost its control on the game, allowing 53 second-half points to the Wolves. Before games at Queens and UWG, the Dolphins had not allowed an ASUN team to reach 80 points but allowed back to back 80-plus point showings to the Royals and Wolves.<\/p>\n<p>Foul trouble plagued the &#8216;Phins all afternoon, amassing 29 total against the Wolves. It was the most in a game all season and well above the previous conference-high of 22 fouls against FGCU. The 29 fouls were the most called against the Dolphins since a January 2021 meeting with North Alabama.<\/p>\n<p>By game&#8217;s end, Jacksonville lost the battle of the boards 40-31. Off the bench, <a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/mens-basketball\/roster\/jaylen-jordon\/7924\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"7924\" target=\"_blank\">Jaylen Jordon<\/a> led the team with five rebounds. Jones, Wood and <a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/mens-basketball\/roster\/chris-lockett-jr-\/7928\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"7928\" target=\"_blank\">Chris Lockett Jr.<\/a> each grabbed four.<\/p>\n<p>The Dolphins shot well the entire game, shooting 51.9% in the first half and 40.0% in the second half for a game total of 45.6%. But West Georgia&#8217;s 66.7% second-half shooting number proved too much to overcome on the road.<\/p>\n<p>Jones ended the day as the standout player with his team-high points, second-most rebounds and game-high four assists. He also led the game in steals with two.<\/p>\n<p>The road trip continues for Jacksonville as the &#8216;Phins have a test at Stetson on Wednesday, Feb. 11. The Hatters and the Dolphins square off in DeLand at 7 p.m. on ESPN+.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; Next Game: at Stetson University 2\/11\/2026 | 7:00 PM &#13; ESPN+ &#13; &#13; 1010 XL&#13;&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":147969,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[116,118,117],"class_list":["post-147968","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147968","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=147968"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147968\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/147969"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=147968"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=147968"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=147968"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
