NEW YORK — Miles Kelly made two free throws with 2.1 seconds left in overtime following a controversial foul call and Georgia Tech beat Penn State in 82-81 with a frantic finish in a Holiday Festival matchup at Madison Square Garden. On the Yellow Jackets' last possession and down 81-80, Kowacie Reeves Jr. missed an open 3-pointer, and after rebounding his own miss, drove to the rim where Qudus Wahab blocked his shot. Kelly came up with the ball in a scramble and put a desperate, off-balance shot attempt. In the flurry, Penn State's Ace Baldwin Jr. — who was on the floor at Kelly's feet on the shot attempt — was whistled for a foul sending Kelly to the line. Tafara Gapare scored a career-high 20 points for Georgia Tech. Kanye Clary scored 23 points for Penn State.
