At least one college basketball team is apparently knocking off the rust in the early going of the season.

UNC Asheville lost a heartbreaker to Georgia Tech, 75-74, just seconds after jubilation ensued due to a costly mistake.

Georgia Tech built a 74-71 advantage in the final seconds before Connor Dubsky hit a 3-pointer with 2.2 seconds remaining to tie it and likely send the game to overtime.

However, apparently, UNC Asheville forward Myles Mayfield did not know what the score was, because he intentionally fouled a Yellow Jacket almost immediately.

Head coach Mike Morrell was in disbelief initially, but he and other players consoled Mayfield.

That sent Victor Valdes to the free throw line, and he hit one of two to take the lead, and UNC Asheville was unable to get another shot off.

UNC Asheville was up by 10 with 6:30 to go, so there is plenty of blame to go around. The Yellow Jackets (4-0) trailed 32-25 at halftime and were down by as many as 11 in the second half before rallying.

To make matters worse, though, the mistake erased quite an effort from Mayfield, who scored 21 points on 9-of-11 shooting.

Georgia Tech overcame 37% shooting by grabbing 19 offensive rebounds and holding a 45-37 advantage on the glass.

Tylis Jordan added seven rebounds for Georgia Tech, while Jackson Fields finished with 14 points and 14 rebounds. Kam Craft scored 13 points and made four 3-pointers, and Kaiden Bailey added 11 off the bench.
