In the first minutes of the overtime, the two teams were being very aggressive in attack, they were doing some turnovers because of that and the Georgia Tech players were still very good in the three-point shots and the Georgia Tech team managed to open an advantage on the scoreboard by because of that.
On the side of the Tar Heels team, their attack was with Cota making assists for Jamison and Carter, the Georgia Tech team's defense was defending well against Williams and so Cota preferred to make the most correct plays to get the points.
Because of this, the Georgia Tech team opened an advantage on the scoreboard, but they also lost a lot of attacks because they tried only three-point shots and missed too, so in the last minutes the two teams were almost tied and Coach Guthridge asked for time to talk to the players.
