Mike Laster tied the game on a drive to the hoop with 15 seconds left, but his free throw that could have given Ohio the lead was off the mark. DiLeo used a pump fake to get freshman AJ Gareri in the air and then drew contact in the final second.

“Should've never got to overtime,” Ohio coach Saul Phillips said. “Thought we...
