Head coach Tyler Snyder post game comments, "Huge overtime win for us. Everyone played together. We went up 3 with 5.8 second left in regulation and they made a 3 at the buzzer after fumbling the ball. Then in overtime, we were down 5 early and rallied to tie it at 74. They missed 3 or 4 shots to take the lead, but we tipped their last miss out and Tyjarek beat everyone down the court for the layup with 5 seconds left. We ended up knocking the ball loose on the inbounds and the time ran out. Always great to everyone hustle the way they did tonight."
