Jalen Hawkins scored 12 points as part of a second half charge, including the go-ahead layup with 28.1 seconds left in the game, to lead Norfolk State to a 68-65 upset over George Mason Saturday at EagleBank Arena.
Hawkins had 14 points for the game and hit a pair of key 3-pointers during NSU’s comeback from 14 points down. His fastbreak layup off a GMU miss put NSU ahead one last time, and the Patriots could not convert during their last few possessions. The Spartans outscored George Mason 11-2 to close out the very first meeting between the two programs.
