RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -Trevor Welcher's 10-foot bank shot with 1.7 seconds remaining, his only basket of the game, gave Delaware State a 64-62 victory over North Carolina A&T in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference tournament quarterfinals Thursday night.
Welcher grabbed a rebound off a missed 3-pointer by Roy Bright, then immediately fired the jumper off the backboard to move the fourth-seeded Hornets (14-15) into Friday's semifinals against top-seeded Morgan State (21-9).
The Aggies (15-16) trailed for most of the final 15 minutes by no more than six points and eventually went on a 7-0 run to take a 60-59 lead with 1:13 left on two free throws by Thomas Coleman, who scored 10 points.
Bright - who scored 18 points and grabbed 11 rebounds - put the Hornets back up by one on an inside hoop and Kyle White made one of two free throws with 27.3 seconds remaining to give Delaware State a two-point lead.
North Carolina A&T's Jason Wills (13 points) was fouled on a drive to the basket and tied the game 62-62 with his two free throws before the final heroics by Welcher
Donald Johnson led Delaware State with 20 points off the bench.
Austin Ewing scored 15 points for North Carolina A&T. Robert Johnson added 11 points.
