BERKELEY, Calif. – Gary Flowers scored the final 12 points for Southern Miss, including a 3-foot turnaround jumper off the backboard with 3 seconds left, lifting the Golden Eagles to an 80-78 win over California on Sunday.

Flowers finished with 28 points on 10-of- 16 shooting, Josimar Ayarza added 17 and LaShay Page scored 12 for Southern Miss.

Harper Kamp scored 20 points for California ( 5-4),which missed two free throws in the final 45 seconds. Jorge Gutierrez also missed a potential game-winning 3-pointer when his shot bounced off the back of the rim as the buzzer sounded.

Southern Miss trailed 73-68 with 3: 25 remaining when Flowers took over.

The senior forward scored on a short jumper before Cal’s Nigel Carter made a 3-pointer. Flowers answered with another short jumper, then made two free throws before stealing an inbounds pass by the Bears and scoring to tie the game at 76.

After Gutierrez missed one of his free-throw attempts, Flowers made a pair from the line to give the Eagles a 78-77 lead. Allen Crabbe’s free throw tied the game again for Cal, but Flowers backed Gutierrez into the paint, then turned and banked a short shot off the backboard for the game-winner.

The Bears were on the verge of turning the game into a blowout before Flowers’ heroics.

Kamp scored 12 straight points coming out of halftime and Carter made a pair of 3-pointers to spark a 12-2 run that gave Cal a 68-61 lead with 6 1/2 minutes left.

But the Bears went cold after Markhuri Sanders-Frison’s short jumper. Cal made only one basket in the final 5 minutes - a Carter 3-pointer that gave the Bears a 76-70 lead.
