Murray State and George Washington University provided a thrilling final scene for Tuesday night's Cayman Islands Classic with a frantic 96-95 Racer win.

Trey Autry had appeared to save the day for the Revolutionaries, first tying the game on an acrobatic 3-pointer with 45 seconds remaining and then pushing GW in front on a layup with 6.1 seconds remaining.
