MIAMI (AP) — Jao Ituka scored 29 points and Jacksonville State beat Florida International 84-79 in double overtime on Saturday.
Jaron Pierre Jr. added 22 points for the Gamecocks (20-10, 12-5 Conference USA). Michael Houge finished with 11 points.
Pierre’s layup knotted the score at 73 with 20 seconds left in the first overtime. Ituka made a pair of free throws and hit a 3-pointer to give Jacksonville State an 80-73 lead with 3:17 left in the second extra period. Pierre’s two free throws ended the scoring with eight seconds left.
FIU’s Jayden Brewer made a layup with about a second left in regulation to force overtime tied 64-all.
The Gamecocks entered a half game back of conference leader Liberty, which hosts Kennesaw State on Sunday.
Jonathan Aybar finished with 19 points, six rebounds, two steals and three blocks for the Panthers (9-20, 3-13). Florida International also got 18 points and seven rebounds from Vianney Salatchoum. Jayden Brewer finished with 11 points.
