It took overtime, but State finally got its first conference win of the season, a 76-71 victory over Georgia Tech.
After Trevor Ferguson hit a free throw to make the score 73-71, Dennis Horner forced a turnover on the Yellow Jackets' next possession. The 6-foot-9 junior then calmly knocked down a pair of free throws to give the Wolfpack a two possession lead with under nine seconds to play.
Brandon Costner led the Pack with 22 points and seven rebounds before fouling out of the game.
Ben McCauley had a fantastic game in the post, tallying 18 points, 10 rebounds and six assists on the afternoon.
