11:17am | <\/strong>Sophomore guard Raynard Tyler scored a game-high 19 points to help lead the Long Beach City College men’s basketball team to a 64-61 South Coast Conference win in overtime over visiting Cerritos College on Wednesday night at the Hall of Champions Gym.<\/span><\/p>\n

After starting the season 0-9, Long Beach has now won four of its last six games and is 4-11 overall and 1-0 in the South Coast Conference South Division.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tyler scored 15 of his 19 points in the second half and overtime period. With Long Beach up 30-27, Tyler scored back-to-back buckets to open the second half and put LBCC up 34-29 less than a minute into the period.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Vikings led for the majority of the second half and appeared to be on their way to the win after Tyler’s jumper put LBCC up 57-51 with 3:19 to go. But the Falcons responded with a pair of free throws by Anthony Holiday and baskets by Darius Williams and Anthony Scott to tie the game 57-57 with 1:23 remaining.<\/span><\/p>\n

Willie Edwards missed a potential game-winning shot with 34 seconds left in regulation and then turned the ball over with three seconds left, sending the contest to overtime.<\/span><\/p>\n

Neither team made a field goal in the overtime period, but Long Beach converted on seven of eight free throws to pull out the win. Sophomore Kristen Owens’ block of a three-point try by Cerritos’ Kierre Beverly with 1:12 to go in OT proved to be a big play.<\/span><\/p>\n

Owens and freshman Tyler Tuliau both posted eight points and five rebounds. Sophomore Jared Garber had a team-best eight rebounds to go with five points.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scott led Cerritos (8-7, 0-1 SCC) with 14 points. Edwards had 12 points off the bench and Beverly led all with 11 rebounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

The LBCC men return to action on Friday (Jan. 6) when they travel to LA Southwest College for a 7 p.m. SCC game.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
