Georgia Tech wins in OT on Baye Ndongo tip-in at the buzzer

Mady Sissoko dunked to give Cal an 88-86 lead with 1:35 left in overtime but Ndongo hit a jumper to tie the game with :43 left. With time running out George drove the lane for a contested layup that Cal's Rytis Petraitis got a hand on. In space behind the defenders Ndongo elevated and tipped in the miss for the win.

Ndongo tipped in a George shot blocked by Sissoko in the final minute of regulation to give the Yellow Jackets a 79-77 lead with :54 left, but Andrej Stojakovic scored at the basket to tie the game with :41 left and force the extra period after the Bears' Jeremiah Wilkinson misfired on a jumper in the closing seconds.

Ndongo finished with a career-high 26 points and 13 rebounds and George had 26 points and eight assists to lead Georgia Tech (13-13, 7-8 Atlantic Coast Conference). Duncan Powell added 19 points and six boards.

Wilkinson hit 4 of 7 from behind the arc and scored 25 points to lead Cal. Stojakovic was 4 of 7 from deep and added 22 points. Petraitis contributed 12 points and Sissoko put up 10 points while pulling down 11 rebounds.
