Gueye knocks down buzzer-beater in Ragin' Cajuns 66-65 win
The final two field goals of the game were contested. Coleman Sparling's putback under the basket was counted for a 65-63 UT Arlington lead when Louisiana was called for goal-tending with 2.7 seconds on the clock.
Then Gueye caught a long pass from Cedric Russell on the Ragin' Cajuns final possession and had just enough time for a turnaround 3 at the buzzer.

David Azore had 14 points and six rebounds for the Mavericks (9-13, 5-6). Brian Warren added 12 points and eight assists. Sam Griffin had 10 points. The Mavericks saw a three-game win streak, which began at Lafayetter Jan. 16, come to an end.
