North Alabama used a strong second-half effort to pull away for a 73-66 road win over Jacksonville State on Monday.
The visiting Lions trailed by eight points heading into halftime, but outscored Jax State 47-32 in the second half to secure the victory.
Junior Canin Jefferson led the comeback effort with 14 of his 16 points coming in the second half, while Donte Bacchus added 12 in the second half to lead UNA to its first road win of the year.
Bacchus finished with 19 points and nine rebounds to lead the Lions’ scoring efforts, and Corneilous Williams grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds and scored 17 points.
North Alabama has now won three of the last four matchups against the Gamecocks. Jax State leads the overall series 59-38 in a rivalry that dates back to the 1949-50 season.
“Our guys today just stayed the course the whole time,” North Alabama coach Tony Pujol said on the radio broadcast following the win. “They locked into the scouting report — I thought they did a tremendous job there — and I thought what they did was they just had a no-quit mentality. It was great in the huddles.
“They just stayed positive the whole time, good or bad, they just stayed positive.”
The Gamecocks were held to a 12-for-35 mark from the field in the second half and just made three of their 16 shots from beyond the arc after going 6-for-9 from 3-point range in the first half of the matchup.
Jamar Franklin led Jax State to a first-half lead with 13 points, going 4-for-5 from 3-point range. Tulsa transfer Jaye Nash also dished out five of his eight assists in the first half of the matchup.
Louisiana transfer Mostapha El Moutaouakkil totaled 19 points — 15 in the second half — to lead Jax State in the loss, with Alabama A&M transfer AC Bryant scoring 18 points and logging a game-high eight rebounds.
“Whenever you’re playing a team that’s coached by coach Harper, you have to be ready,” Pujol said of Jax State. “You’re always going to get not only a coach that understands the game and coaches at a high level, but his players play to their identity, which is that they’re going to play hard, they’re going to really grind games out. If you’re not ready for that, they can make you look pretty bad.”
The Lions got their first lead of the second half on a 3-pointer from Tank Washington with 10:05 left to play before a 3-pointer from Bryant and a pair of free throws from Phenix City native Jacoby Hill.
After a back-and-forth period that saw four lead changes, a layup from Bacchus with 2:53 left to play gave the Lions a lead they never lost; Coffee Springs native Dallas Howell hit a 3-pointer a little over a minute later.
“We came in here with high energy and just stuck together,” Bacchus said. “Every day, this is brick by brick, just coming every day in practice, just competing and staying up, and it just paid off. I’m happy we were able to get this win and just stay together.”
North Alabama (4-4) will face San Francisco on Wednesday at 9 p.m. in California. Jax State (3-4) will host Division II AUM on Sunday at 4 p.m. at Pete Mathews Coliseum. Both games will be streamed on ESPN+.

Starting Monday, Missourians could legally bet on sports either using mobile apps or by going in-person to casinos.
At a sparsely populated Horseshoe Casino in downtown St. Louis Monday afternoon, the Caesar’s sportsbook was mostly deserted. But St. Louis resident Rick Porter braved the snow to place a bet in person. He was already at the casino to play poker nearby.
Porter was placing a bet on Monday night’s Patriots-Giants game.
“When you’re watching the game it gives you something to cheer for,” Porter said.
He said he has driven across the river to Illinois several times to place bets, and he is glad he doesn’t have to do that anymore.
Former St. Louis Rams wide receiver Isaac Bruce bet on the same game at a DraftKings event Monday, picking the Patriots to win.
Bruce said betting can add another layer of emotion to sports for fans and athletes but advised that his fellow athletes stay focused on the game and ignore any extra pressure that might come from sports betting.
“We talk often about ignoring the outside noise,” Bruce said. “So being focused on what’s going on in your locker room, the way you play and your mission is to go out and win and perform and become a better player.”
DraftKings is one of two platforms that received an untethered license from the Missouri Gaming Commission, meaning it does not have to partner with a sports team or a casino. However, it does have a partnership with the St. Louis Blues. The other untethered license went to Circa Sports.
People can place bets electronically and at casinos around the state on several other platforms as well.
DraftKings Chief Responsible Gaming Officer Lori Kalani said she is committed to preventing problem gambling. She said she implemented a new tool called My Stat Sheet where users can view a personalized dashboard that includes time and money spent on the platform.
“We develop these tools because good experiences start with responsible decisions,” Kalani said.
Missouri Speaker of the House Jon Patterson, R-Lee’s Summit, who was in St. Louis at the DraftKings event, said much of the tax revenue from legal sports betting in the state is expected to go to public schools.
“That will help public school students get their education, have access to the help that they need, and it will help public schools,” Patterson said. “As a father of public school students, I think that’s one of the things that we really have to highlight here today.”
However, it’s unclear how much revenue schools will get.
According to the Missouri Gaming Commission, a 10% tax will be applied on the adjusted gross revenue received by sports betting. That revenue will first go to the commission to reimburse expenses incurred by regulating sports wagering.
Afterward, the greater of either $5 million or 10% of the annual tax revenues will go to the Missouri Department of Mental Health to address compulsive gambling.
The remainder of the money earned by the state will go to the Missouri Department of Education.
Missouri Gaming Commission Jan Zimmerman said it’s too soon to predict the revenue the state will see, but there are some initial estimates of between $20-28 million.

The Toronto Maple Leafs hope their offensive spark stays lit when they visit the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night in Sunrise, Fla., in the teams’ first encounter since the second round of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Even as they linger near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, the Maple Leafs’ 7-2 clobbering of the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday sprung them to the top of the Atlantic Division in goals scored.
Each forward on Toronto’s third line — Bobby McMann, Dakota Joshua and Nicolas Roy — snapped a lengthy goalless drought in the second period.
“You gotta keep doing your job, right?” Joshua said after netting his first goal in 15 games. “And then you’ll get a result like that. I think it’s obviously been, you know, not ideal to this point, so to get that result means a lot and now the importance in keeping it going is there.”
Some of Toronto’s offense has come from the blue line. Oliver Ekman-Larsson left late in the game with an upper-body injury, though not before extending his point streak to nine.
With 20 points in 25 games, the Swedish defenseman is on pace for the highest scoring season of his career.
The Leafs hope to have him back against Florida, his former team, which eliminated Toronto from the last postseason in seven games.
“I’m hoping he’s fine,” said head coach Craig Berube. “I don’t know yet, but we’ll evaluate him tomorrow. I think he’ll be OK, but we’ll see.”
The Panthers are experiencing a rough patch in the midst of long-term injuries to star forwards Aleksander Barkov and Matthew Tkachuk. They fell 5-3 to the visiting Calgary Flames on Friday as opposing netminder Devin Cooley turned away 37 shots.
Following the loss to Calgary, Florida has dropped three of its last four and three straight at home.
The two-time defending Cup champion is disappointed to be sitting outside a playoff spot, though Florida coach Paul Maurice is of two minds given the circumstances.
“Nobody cares how injured you are or what you’re going through,” Maurice said. “I think there’s something really good that we can build out of this. We can take something out of our adversity and make it ours.”
Florida’s renowned depth has struggled to compensate for the absent Barkov and Tkachuk, who have yet to play this season. Reigning Conn Smythe Trophy winner Sam Bennett has just 12 points in 24 games, while Carter Verhaeghe (four goals) is on pace for his lowest total since the 2019-20 season.
Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky’s .882 save percentage through 17 appearances is the lowest of his 16-year career.
The Panthers are hoping a rare four-day layover at home does them some good. The matchup with Toronto is the third of a season-long six-game homestand.
“Just being able to take at least one day to get your mind off hockey completely helps a lot,” said forward A.J. Greer, who has six goals and 10 points and is the rare Panther outscoring his usual pace.
