Johnson C. Smith wins completion of suspended game

CHARLOTTE, N.C.  — Johnson C. Smith defeated Winston-Salem State 89-86 in overtime on Friday afternoon in the completion of the game that was suspended Wednesday night.     

Joshua Linson, who knocked out a light fixture Wednesday with a desperation shot after the buzzer, hit a 3-pointer with 24 seconds left that proved to be the difference.

The Rams trailed 89-86 and had the ball at the end, but Marquez Jones and Preston Ross III each missed 3-point shots to tie.

The game was completed about 42 hours after it started.

The Golden Bulls (15-10, 4-5 Southern Division) scored on six of their eight possessions in overtime, which started with the teams tied at 76.
