NEW ORLEANS REGIONAL
Oklahoma State 73, Florida State 72 (OT)
DES MOINES, Iowa – Andrea Riley sank a free throw with 0.7 seconds left in overtime to give Oklahoma State a 73-72 victory over Florida State on Monday night.
The game appeared headed to a second overtime when Riley was trapped 18 feet from the basket with time about to run out. She went up for what would have been an awkward shot and official Teresa Dahlem whistled a foul on Florida State’s Shante Williams just as the buzzer sounded.
Riley, who had missed two free throws on her previous trip to the line, bricked the first one but nailed the second, then intercepted Florida State’s long inbounds pass.
“I’ve always dreamed about making the big play at the end, on TV,” Riley said. “I’m just glad it was me.”
