RAMS DEFEAT 7TH-RANKED FAULKNER UNIVERSITY 66-65

MOBILE, Ala. – Gabriel Feagin scored 15 points and hit the game winning shot with 6 seconds left to lead the University of Mobile men’s basketball team (6-3) in a 66-65 win over the 7th-ranked Faulkner University Eagles.

A close game for most of the first half, the lead changed hands five times before Faulkner was finally able to go on an 11-0 run with 9:12 remaining in the half. Despite only shooting 39% from the floor during the first half, the Rams out-scored the Eagles 14-8 in the last four minutes of the half to head into the locker rooms down only 34-30.

Carried on the shoulders of Paul Little, the 2001 NAIA National Tournament MVP, the Eagles opened up a 52-43 lead, their biggest of the second half. The Rams however fought back and following a Larry Burgess layup with 7:47 remaining, Mobile took a 53-52 lead. The two teams exchanged leads four more times setting up Feagin’s game winning jump shot with 6 seconds left.

The Rams, who shot a spectacular 64 percent on 16-25 shooting from the floor in the second half, got great performances from Larry Burgess (17 points with 4-of-5 from downtown), Gabriel Feagin (15 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals) and Gimel Lewis (11 points and 5 rebounds in his first game back after being injured).

Paul Little’s 21 points led the Eagles (3-2) with Ben Baxter getting 16 and Donta Frazier finishing with 10.
