Season Ends in Overtime in NIT
DENTON, Texas – Texas State men's basketball erased a halftime deficit and led by as much as eight points in the second half, but after a crucial foul call on a three-point attempt with two seconds left in regulation, North Texas eventually came back to beat the Bobcats in overtime, 67-63, in the first round of the NIT at the Super Pit on Tuesday.
In the program's first NIT appearance, the Bobcats (21-8) led by six with less than 40 seconds remaining, but following a slam by Nighael Ceasar, UNT (25-6) hit a quick answer-three from Tylor Perry to spark the comeback.
