COLUMBIA, S.C. — Sophomore Christian Davis dribbled down the floor and hit a 15-foot jumper with 0.2 seconds left to play to seal an 84-82 win for the Truett McConnell men's basketball team Saturday afternoon against Allen University. The win gives TMU its first league win of the year and improves the Bears to 4-6.
The Bears hit the opening shot of the game and, after Allen tied it up at 2-2, retook the lead and held it all the way through the game.
The Yellow Jackets tied the game up at 82-82 with six seconds left on a 32-foot three pointer. Davis, then, took the inbound pass and dribbled through the Yellow Jacket press to the free throw line. After a ball fake, he took the shot and hit nothing but the bottom of the net with 0.2 seconds left on the clock, not enough time for Allen to take a chance to tie.
Eleven players made it into the scoring column, including four players in double figures. Kai Lambert led the Bears with 15 points, while David Campbell Jr. finished with 14. Mario Westbrooks and Davis added 13 points each.
The Bears will next take on Montreat at home on Wednesday, with tip off scheduled for 7:30 p.m. in the Bear Cave.
