STATESBORO, Ga. (AP) Josh Hagins scored 16 points on 6-for-10 shooting Saturday night to lead Arkansas-Little Rock to a 76-61 win over Georgia Southern.

Roger Woods and Jalen Jackson added 12 points apiece for Little Rock (24-3, 14-2 Sun Belt), which shot 51 percent from the field to set a program record for most victories in a regular season. Mareik Isom and Maurius Hill both finished with nine points and six rebounds for the Trojans.

Georgia Southern (12-14, 8-8) scored the game's first five points but quickly fell behind as Little Rock pumped in the next 10 and continued to pull away for a 41-31 advantage at the break. The Eagles then took control in the second half, opening with a 12-0 run that included two of Hagins' four 3-pointers and made it 53-31 with 15:38 left.

Tookie Brown paced Georgia Southern with 16 points, Jonathan Sanks had 12 and Devonte Boykins 11.
