Massey's buzzer-beater lifts FAU past Rice 63-62

HOUSTON -- Justin Massey scored 18 points and nailed the game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer and Florida Atlantic beat Rice 63-62 on Saturday.

Connor Cashaw hit a jumper with three seconds left for a 62-60 Rice lead, and after Florida Atlantic (10-11, 4-5 Conference USA) called timeout, Payton Hulsey dished to Massey for the shot. Massey missed all seven of his 3-point attempts in Thursday's loss to North Texas.

Ronald Delph led Florida Atlantic with 20 points. Delph's jumper with 63 seconds to go knotted the game at 60 following a Cashaw jumper nine seconds prior.
