North Carolina State's Courtney Fells (4) grabs the rebound from New Orleans' Jacob Manning. But UNO won, 65-63, Sunday in Raleigh, N.C.

Raleigh, N.C. ? T.J. Worley banked in a 3-pointer with 1.7 seconds left, and New Orleans became the latest mid-major to spring an upset by beating No. 21 North Carolina State, 65-63, on Sunday night.

In a wild finish that had three lead changes in the final 15 seconds, New Orleans erased a late seven-point deficit by scoring eight straight points in the final 1:48, taking a 62-61 lead with 14.9 seconds left on two free throws by Bo McCalebb.

Gavin Grant hit a layup over Jaroslav Tyrna to put N.C. State (1-1) up 63-62 with 8.3 seconds left, and the Privateers (2-0) frantically inbounded it to McCalebb, who lost control of the ball. Worley picked it up and heaved a 3-pointer over three defenders from about 25 feet that kissed off the glass.

Worley then broke up Brandon Costner’s desperation pass to freshman J.J. Hickson as time expired.
