An excruciating South Carolina State psychological error allowed Norfolk State to clinch the Mid-Jap American Convention (MEAC)’s NCAA Event auto-bid on Saturday.
Norfolk State (24-10, 11-3 in MEAC) squandered an eight-point lead within the last minute of regulation, permitting SC State (20-13, 11-3 in MEAC) to tie the sport at 65 with 10.6 seconds remaining.
On the following inbounds move, SC State senior ahead Caleb McCarty, who seconds earlier made the tying bucket, inexplicably fouled Norfolk State senior guard Christian Ings from behind, sending Ings to the road, the place he made considered one of his two free-throw makes an attempt.
