Minnesota Crookston falls to 2-7 (1-2 NSIC).
 
Much like yesterday, there should have been a good indication that the game would go back-and-forth through the entirety.
 
Andrew Stokes (Jr., F, Westchester, Ill.) would start his 17-point output early, putting the Golden Eagles up 2-0.
 
SCSU would take a 15-8 lead, but Christian Bowen-Webb (Jr., G, Atchison, Kan.) would score the first of his nine points with a three, making it a 15-11 game.
 
Minnesota Crookston would eventually take a 16-15 lead, following a layup by Reid Grant (Sr., G, Johnston, Iowa) and a Ben Hoverson (Sr., F, Grand Forks, N.D.) three.
 
The game would be tight and the Huskies would take a 31-28 lead, but that lead would quickly evaporate as Micah Garrett (Jr., G, Portland, Ore.) would bury a three, tying the game at 31.
 
The Huskies would lead by five heading into the halftime break.
 
SCSU would maintain their lead until Garrett and Stokes would help give the Golden Eagles a three point lead at 53-50, with a pair of three-point plays; both of the conventional and unconventional variety.
 
Later in the half, the Huskies would lead 67-63, but four straight points from Garrett would help deadlock the score at 67.
 
SCSU would lead 74-71, but Mr. Big Shot, Reid Grant would hit a massive three on one of three offensive rebounds in the game for the maroon and gold, tying the game at 74.
 
Grant would live up to his moniker late in the game, as he would bury a three to tie the game at 79 and send it into overtime.
 
The Golden Eagles would score the first three in the overtime period, highlighted by a tough finish by Stokes in transition.

Bowen-Webb was a perfect 3-3 from long range for nine points.
