-- Reprobatus Bibbs scored 30 points and A.J. Gordon added 27 to
lead North Alabama to its second road win in three days in a
dramatic 103-101 win at Columbus State.

three-point attempt by Columbus rimmed off in the final seconds,
giving UNA its seventh win in eight contests. Free throws by Pervis
Key and Bibbs gave UNA the narrow margin of victory.

built as much as a 13-point lead in the second half before Columbus
mounted a comeback. The Lions lead was cut to one on a three-pointer
by Yandel Brown and Bibbs pushed it to two in the final seconds.
Brown scored 47 points in the game, hitting
17 field goals, including five three-pointer.
Bibbs was 11-of-16 from the floor for UNA and
Gordon was 11-of-14 as UNA shot a solid 51.5 percent from the floor.
Key added 17 points for UNA. The Lions host Ouachita
Baptist Saturday at 4 p.m. at Flowers Hall.
