The No. 21 seed South Georgia State College Hawks have advanced to the second round of the NJCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament with a 93-89 overtime upset of the No. 12 seed Salt Lake Community College Bruins.

           

The two teams traded scoring runs throughout the game, with Salt Lake building a 22-11 lead in the first half. The Hawks answered with a 38-18 run of their own to take a 49-40 lead into the locker room. SGSC’s scoring spark included three consecutive three-pointers by Zae Wiggins in the closing minutes of the half.

           

The Hawks held Salt Lake to only four points to start the second half and built a 57-44 lead with 15:12 left to play. Salt Lake outscored SGSC 24-13 over the next 10 minutes to close the gap to two points (70-68).

SGSC scored the next four points to lead 77-76 with 1:49 left on the clock. Both teams were held scoreless on their next possessions. Salt Lake drew a foul on SGSC’s Alex Johnson with 30.1 seconds to go but missed both free throws and a chance to take the lead.

           

Daniel Parrish drew a foul on SGSC’s next possession, sending him to the line with 19 seconds remaining. Parrish made 1-of-2 free throws, giving the Hawks a 78-76 lead.

           

Salt Lake’s Marvin Price drove into the paint on the Bruins’ ensuing possession and made a layup as time expired to send the game into overtime.

           

Leading 90-89 with 12.7 seconds remaining in the extra period, SGSC’s AJ Spencer hit 1-of-2 free throws to give the Hawks a two point lead. Salt Lake’s Price missed a three-pointer with less than five seconds to go, forcing the Bruins to foul Parrish with 1.7 seconds remaining on the clock.
