Coleman’s Clutch Bucket Propels Nevada to Historical 70-66 Overtime Victory Against #24 San Diego State

RENO, Nev. – Coming out of a timeout with just 31 seconds on the clock in overtime and the game tied at 66-66, Kenan Blackshear stood at the top of the key waiting for the play that was drawn up to develop. With the clock winding down, Blackshear whipped a pass to Tre Coleman with just 16 seconds left. Coleman received the pass near the right elbow, drove left into the chest of his defender and put up a soft floater in the paint that dropped through the net, giving the Nevada Men's Basketball team a 68-66 lead with 12 seconds remaining, and ultimately propelling the Pack to a historical victory over No. 24 San Diego State in front of a sold out crowd at Lawlor Events Center.
