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.
