Radford chopped the deficit to six (87-81) on a Thomas layup with 3:33 left that triggered a 7-1 run Highlander run for the remainder of regulation as Thomas nailed a 3-pointer from the right wing at :51 to tie the game at 88-88. A missed jumper by Chavis Holmes and a missed 3-pointer by Travis Holmes at the buzzer forced overtime.
