Fairfax, Va. (Feb. 19) – George Mason made two free throws with 0.2 seconds left in overtime to secure a 70-68 win over Georgia State on Sunday in a CAA game at the Patriot Center.
In a game with 12 ties and 8 lead changes, the teams were tied at 68 in overtime. Georgia State had a chance for the win on a drive to the basket with 17 seconds left, but a no-call on a block got Mason the ball back. Taleia Moton dribbled out the clock, did a final spin just inside the three-point line, was falling away from the basket and heaved a desperation attempt that was whistled as a foul with the 0.2 left. Moton, the No. 12 scorer in the country finished with a game-high 31 points, including seven in the overtime to lead Mason (13-13, 7-8).
