Brennan Buzzer Beater Keeps Win Streak Alive; UNG Downs Young Harris, 84-82

YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. | Trailing by seven points with under two and a half minutes left in the game, the University of North Georgia men's basketball team stormed from behind and used a Sean Brennan buzzer beater to take down rival Young Harris (5-5, 2-2 Peach Belt), 84-82, Monday evening. The improbable comeback extends the men's winning streak to seven games and overall record to 10-1 with a 4-0 mark in PBC play.
 
Sophomore guard Sean Brennan collected his first double-double of the season with 18 points and 11 rebounds, both of which led the team on the night.
 
The game featured multiple long runs by each team and saw three lead changes in each half.
 
Just as the Mountain Lions appeared to take control of the game with a seven-point lead on a Herdie Lawrence three-pointer, Sean Brennan drew a foul and made two free throws and the Nighthawks collected a steal on the next possession. On the other side of the court Sam Ebo drained a three to pull UNG within two and just seconds later collected a steal and made a pair of free throws after being fouled to tie the game, 80-80.
 
North Georgia found themselves with the ball and an opportunity to take the last shot with the game tied, 82-82. Shaquan Cantrell launched a three with five seconds left. After deflecting off the iron, Brennan collected the rebound and got off a last second heave with the ball finding its way through the net as time expired.
 
The Nighthawks will look to continue their winning ways on Wednesday, as the team travels to Augusta to take on Georgia Regents. Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m.
