How did Troy beat GSU?

ULL had the talent to go toe-to-toe with GSU least season, but Troy did not. So how did Troy beat them 85-81? Their shooting percentages from the field were about the same, and their percentage from the line was not as good as GSU's. But they shot seven more FT's than GSU, which is unusual. Plus they made 3 more 3-pointers than GSU. Plus they did what you have to do against them: win on the boards by a bunch (7).

The stat that stands out, though, is the fact that Troy attempted ten more free throws than GSU. On the year GSU shot 87 more times from the stripe than did their opponents.
