OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Tra-Deon Hollins scored 20 points, including two free throws that sent it to overtime, and Omaha defeated Cal State Fullerton on Sunday for the second time this season, 102-96.
Hollins’ free throws with 15 seconds tied it at 83. Fullerton’s Lionheart Leslie missed a shot in the paint and Hollins a shot from midcourt to send the game to OT. Zach Johnson hit a 3-pointer to open OT and give Omaha (7-5) its first lead since the first half as the Mavericks outscored Fullerton 17-6 to lead by 12 with 38 seconds left.
Jackson finished with 19 points, Marcus Tyus 16 points, and Thurman 15 points and 12 rebounds. Omaha made 34 of 43 free throws.
The Titans (5-6), playing without leading scorer Tre’ Coggins (19.6 ppg), were led by Leslie with 23 points before he fouled out in overtime. Coggins didn’t make the trip because of “personal reasons,” according to the school.
Omaha won at Fullerton 83-73 on Nov. 30.
