With under 1.1 seconds remaining and Northeastern down by one, Vasa Pusica stepped out of bounds, which in turn led to two Utah State free throw makes and a 71-67 Aggies victory in the PK80 Invitational.
The Huskies led this PK80 tournament game, 33-32, at halftime thanks to a Pusica full-court buzzer-beater at halftime, but just couldn’t fend off the pesky Aggies.
