Demario Beck and Jaylen Shaw couldn’t have ended the final home game at the HTC Center in a more dramatic way.
Coastal Carolina’s only two seniors combined on a game-winning shot with 1.3 seconds remaining in a 72-70 win over South Alabama Saturday afternoon.
Shaw drove the lane, drew three defenders and found Beck on the baseline, and Beck powered through a foul for the game-winner before falling to the court.
“I know every time Shaw drives to the basket he’s looking for me, especially when my guy jumps up to help, I know he’s looking for me most of the time,” Beck said.
