MSU men's basketball escapes FGCU with last second game clock error
No. 13 MSU men’s basketball escaped Florida Gulf Coast in a thrilling 78-77 win Sunday night aided by a clock error that seemed to have cheated FGCU out of a chance to win. With 2.8 seconds remaining in the game FGCU guard Christian Terrell tried to inbound the ball out of a timeout, only to have it swatted out-of-bounds by MSU forward Miles Bridges on the baseline. Bridges’ block drained the clock to 1.6 seconds giving FGCU ample but short time for a buzzer-beating shot on an executed inbounds pass.
