The Bobcats trailed 52-45 entering the fourth quarter. However, a 3-pointer by Georgia State’s Nari Powers at the start of the period would be their last made shot. Texas State went on a 13-2 run to take a 58-57 lead \u2014 the first time it had led since the 6-minute, 11-second mark in the second quarter. They made 6 of 14 shots and 10 of 11 free throws for 23 points while holding the Panthers to seven points.<\/p>\n

Bobcats forward Kyra Anderson led the comeback. She recorded eight points and four rebounds in the fourth, finishing with 21 points and 15 rebounds, her seventh double-double of the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The game began innocuously, as the teams were tied at 16 after 10 minutes of play. But the Panthers ripped off a 24-point second quarter, taking a 40-30 lead that expanded to 46-30 with two free throws by Crystal Henderson. Anderson broke the scoring streak with Texas State\u2019s first made basket of the second half with 5:08 left in the period, and Georgia State\u2019s lead slowly began to disintegrate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A layup by Texas State guard Saniya Burks<\/a> cut the deficit to 50-45 with 1:19 to go in the third quarter, although Henderson answered with a bucket of her own. But the 13-6 run by Texas State to end the period was a sign of Georgia State\u2019s impending collapse.<\/p>\n

Texas State will return to San Marcos on Wednesday to face Georgia Southern \u2014 one of the best teams in the Sun Belt. The Eagles are 9-2 in conference play and are on a three-game winning streak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Bobcats trailed 52-45 entering the fourth quarter.
