The hot streak for George Mason guard Otis Livingsotn II just got even hotter.
After scoring 33 points in the Patriots' overtime win against Massachusetts Jan. 3 and another 20 in a loss against Davidson Sunday, the 5-11 junior added another 25 Wednesday night against Saint Joseph's. However, none were bigger than his final make against the Hawks.
Trailing 79-78 with five seconds left in regulation, GMU inbounded underneath it's own basket and Livingston II was forced to throw up one final despiration 3-pointer from well behind the line just before time expired.
