Poor free throw shooting hurt the Lane College Dragons in their 55-54 loss to Kentucky State on Saturday.
 
Lane led 33-29 at halftime, despite hitting just one of eight three-pointers. The second half was close, but a six for 16 performance from the free-throw line for Lane compared to 12 for 18 for KSU hurt the Dragons in the end.
 
Rodney Chatman led all scorers with 14 points, and Nick Beauregard added 12 to go with nine rebounds for Lane. Tony Johnson paced Kentucky state with a double-double, 13 points and 16 rebounds.
 
The win is KSU's first on the season, and Lane drops to 3-2. Next up for the Dragons is a Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference matchup on the road with Albany State.
