CHARLOTTE, N.C. – In a game that experienced 17 lead changes and 10 ties Charlotte’s Jon Davis hit a mid-range jumper with 0.2 seconds remaining to lift the 49ers (9-9, 3-4 C-USA) over the Old Dominion men’s basketball team (11-8, 4-3 C-USA) by a 74-72 score on Saturday night at Halton Arena.
“Jon Davis was really good tonight,” said ODU head coach Jeff Jones. “I did think we played hard, we just made too many mistakes to overcome. We need to learn from this and we have to play smarter. This is a tough one.”
Trailing by one point with 29 seconds remaining, Zoran Talley was fouled and connected on 1-2 from the free-throw line to tie the game at 72-72, before Davis hit the game-winner.
