AIKEN, S.C. – Sterling Council hit a 17-foot jumper from the right corner with just seven-tenths of a second left on the game clock in overtime to lead USC Aiken to a thrilling 87-85 overtime victory over NAIA 23rd-ranked Life before a crowd of 2,136 at the Convocation Center on Wednesday evening.
The extra frame victory improved the Pacers to 1-0 on the young 2009-10 season. Life is now 5-2 on the year.
Life’s Greg Brown had hit a driving lay-up with six seconds left in overtime to tie the game at 85-85. The Pacers quickly pushed the ball up the court with Jesse Seilern Und Aspang (Kapfenberg, Austria/Kapfenberg) finding an open Council (Camden, S.C./Camden) for the first game-winning field goal of his career.
The Pacers entered halftime up by five points at 49-44. USC Aiken, which ended the first half downing 45.5 percent (15-for-33) of its field goals, went a little cold in the second stanza from the charity stripe and the field. The Pacers were down by as many as six points to Life with 4:46 left in regulation.
USC Aiken battled back to within three after a three-pointer by Casey McMasters (Harrisburg, Pa./Central Dauphin) that cut the Running Eagle advantage in half at 78-75. True freshman point guard Re’mon Nelson (Canal Winchester, Ohio/Canal Winchester) made sure that Life’s advances on winning the game would be for naught, nailing a long-range three-pointer with 19 seconds left to square the game at 78-78. The Pacer defense would then hold serve to send the game into overtime.
USC Aiken concluded the contest shooting 37.5 percent (24-for-64) from the field. Life in turn connected on 42.4 percent (25-for-59) of their attempts from the floor in the game. The Pacers as usual were deadly from beyond the arc where they hit on 10 of their 24 attempts (41.7 percent).
The Pacers were guided by four players in double figures. McMasters led all Pacers in the contest with 18 total points. McMasters hit four of USC Aiken’s eight three-pointers in the game. He was a perfect 4-for-4 from the free throw line.
