Last second shot downs Men's Basketball against Fayetteville Tech

RALEIGH, NC – Wake Tech Men's Basketball moved to 3-2 on the season after losing to Fayetteville Tech on Wednesday night when the Trojans hit a go-ahead shot with 0.4 seconds remaining in the game. The Eagles trailed by double digits at multiple points throughout the second half but managed to claw back and hold the lead with less than 20 seconds to play.

They were fouled with 3.6 seconds left and hit one of two free throws to tie the game at 77. Wake Tech turned the ball over on the inbound pass coming out of a timeout, giving the Trojans one more shot to win it in regulation.  They inbounded the ball to freshman guard Tristan Harkins who scored a floater with less than a second to play. The Eagles could not get another shot off, losing the game 79-77.
