WASHINGTON (AP) — Langston Galloway scored six of his 15 points in overtime and Saint Joseph’s opened the extra session with a 12-0 run to upset George Washington 71-59 Tuesday night in the first round of the Atlantic 10 Tournament.

The Hawks (10-21) won despite scoring six points over the final 11:19 of regulation, but sank 18 of 20 free throws in overtime and their only two field-goal attempts. Saint Joseph’s will face Duquesne in the quarterfinal round Friday in Atlantic City.

The No. 12 and lowest-seeded Hawks never trailed, shot 52 percent from the field (23 of 44) and led 31-20 at halftime. Carl Jones scored 12 points and C.J. Aiken added 11. They finished 21 for 24 from the free-throw line.

Playing on their home court, the fifth-seeded Colonials (17-14) trailed 43-29 with 11:19 remaining, but closed the second half on a 20-6 run to send the game to overtime.
