Southaven, Miss. – Jan. 15, 2025 – The Rip City Remix stunned the Memphis Hustle at Landers Center on Wednesday night in their first overtime game of the season. The Hustle held the lead for most of the game, beginning early in the fourth quarter until under the last minute of regulation.
The Hustle led by as many as nine points with just over five minutes remaining in the final frame. The Remix responded by going on a 13-4 run to tie the game with 40 seconds left, as Taze Moore earned a three-point play after being fouled on a lay-up.
The Hustle came out with a quick three-point advantage in the overtime period before Two-Way player Bryce McGowens scored all seven points for Rip City in the overtime period, including three free throws and an alley-oop to end the game and reach the target score.
McGowens led the Remix with a game-high 36 points, earning 12-23 field goals and going 8-8 at the line, along with four rebounds and one blocked shot. Center Alex Reese followed with a 21-point performance and earned 10 rebounds and five blocks. Taze Moore contributed 19 points, a team-high nine assists, eight rebounds and three blocks.
