FLAGSTAFF (AP) — DeAngelo Jones scored with 11.3 seconds left in the second overtime to lift Northern Arizona to an 86-85 win over Portland State on Thursday night.
Chris Harriel hit a shot with 33.8 seconds left to give the Vikings (10-16, 5-8 Big Sky) a one-point lead before Jones converted his game-winning layup.
Cameron Jones scored 26 points to lead the Lumberjacks (12-13, 6-8), who ended a four-game losing streak. Gabe Rogers added 20 points.
Dominic Waters led Portland State, which lost its fourth in a row, with 29 points.
The Lumberjacks, who have gone to overtime in three of their past four games, had a chance to win it at the end of regulation and the first overtime.
After Jamie Jones hit a layup for the Vikings with 35 seconds left in regulation to tie the score at 63, Cameron Jones missed a driving layup with 2 seconds left, and Nick Larson missed a tip-in.
In the first extra session, Northern Arizona led 72-70 before Jamie Jones again tied the score with a layup. It appeared the Lumberjacks would to have the last shot, but Julian Olubuyi tripped as he was heading up court and Portland State’s Julius Thomas scored on a layup with 5 seconds left, giving the Vikings a two-point lead.
Olubuyi then raced end-to-end, hit a layup with 0.4 seconds left and was fouled. Olubuyi, though, missed his free throw.
Jamie Jones finished with 19 points and 11 rebounds.
Larson led all players with 15 rebounds.
