Georgia Tech Escape UNC Asheville 75-74: Valdes Hits Winning Free Throw With One Second Left to Cap Rally From 14 Down
Georgia Tech beat UNC Asheville 75-74 in Atlanta on Saturday as Victor Valdes made a free throw with one second left, completing a comeback from 14 points down with nine minutes remaining and keeping the Yellow Jackets unbeaten at 4-0.
Connor Dubsky had tied the game at 74-74 with a 3-pointer with three seconds left before Valdes was fouled in the backcourt while maneuvering to attempt a desperation three and made the first of two free throws. Kaiden Bailey fueled the rally with all 11 of his points in the final 6:26, and Cortland Muldrew scored all 10 of his points in the final eight minutes.
Tylis Jordan had 17 points and seven rebounds for Georgia Tech, Jackson Fields added 14 points and a career-high 14 rebounds, and Kam Craft made four 3-pointers for 13 points. It was the second straight game in which Georgia Tech came back from a halftime deficit against a mid-major opponent, after Tuesday's 85-71 comeback win over Eastern Kentucky.
Myles Mayfield hit nine of 11 shots for a career-high 21 points for UNC Asheville (2-3), which led 56-42 after a Khayri Dunn 3-pointer with 10 minutes left.
