About Tate George
Tate Claude George is an American former professional basketball player who was selected by the New Jersey Nets with the 22nd overall pick in the 1990 NBA draft from the University of Connecticut. A 6-foot-5-inch (1.96 m) and 190-pound (86 kg) guard, he played a total of four years in the NBA for the Nets and Milwaukee Bucks, averaging 4.2 points per game in his career. The Thunder won the opener in double overtime after George tied the game with last-second buckets at both the end of regulation and of the first overtime. George founded The George Group, a real estate development firm based in West Orange, New Jersey. The shot fell through as time expired, and UConn won the game. The Thunder then lost the second game in triple overtime, but won three straight in Omaha, the last in OT.
