Fowlkes Beats the Clock and Memphis

Tremaine Fowlkes’ three-point basket from the right corner as time expired gave Fresno State an 83-80 victory over Memphis in a second-round game Monday at Fresno.

Memphis’ coaching staff argued at the scorers’ table that the ball did not leave Fowlkes’ hands until after the buzzer sounded. But the three referees left immediately after the game and the final score stood. Fowlkes finished with 24 points.

Marquette 75, Auburn 60--Sparked by freshman Brian Wardle, Marquette erased a five-point deficit in the final 24 seconds of regulation, then scored all 15 points in overtime to beat Auburn at Milwaukee.

Penn State 77, Dayton 74--Calvin Booth scored 19 points and blocked 10 shots to lead the Nittany Lions at Dayton.

Minnesota 79, Alabama Birmingham 66--Quincy Lewis scored 21 points and Eric Harris had 11 of his 16 points in the second half for the Golden Gophers at Minneapolis.

Georgia Tech 80, Georgetown 79--Freshman T.J. Vines made a three-point shot to start a comeback from a 16-point deficit in regulation, then made a tie-breaking free throw with 11.8 seconds left in overtime to give the Yellow Jackets the victory at Atlanta.
