Cal Wins NIT

NIT FINALS

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

NEW YORK--California's comeback kids did it again last night, and this time they came away with the NIT championship.

Geno Carlisle's three-point play with 4.7 seconds capped yet another Cal comeback and lifted the Golden Bears a 61-60 victory over Clemson at Madison Square Garden.

The Tigers had taken a 60-58 lead on two free throws by Andrius Jurkunas with 29.8 seconds left. Carlisle, the Golden Bears' leading scorer this season, drove the lane and scored as Tom Wideman was called for the foul.

After a timeout, Carlisle, a 77-percent free throw shooter this season, walked to the line and swished the decisive free throw.

Terrell McIntyre, who led Clemson with 17 points, dribbled the length of the court but his desperation 25-footer was off the mark, and the Golden Bears rushed the floor to celebrate their first postseason title in 40 years.
