How It Happened 

• The Scots got on the board first with a layup from Zachary Bennett after a turnover early by the Bison.

• Nichols controlled the first few minutes of the second half until Sattazahn sunk a three pointer to gain back the lead (49-48).
• With just a little over four minutes on the clock, a layup from Nichols put the Scots down by 14 points, but Gordon then went on a 16-2 run to send the game to extra minutes with the scoreboard reading 82-82 at the end of regulation 
• In the first OT, Gordon came out hot with a three from Sattazahn, while Nichols responded with a three pointer of their own from Jason O'Regan.
• Scoring went back and forth until the five minutes of overtime ended and the score was still locked, 89-89
• With just a minute left in 2OT, back to back three's from Sattazahn and Drew Thibeault put the Scots up by two. However, Nichols fired back with another three from O'Regan, to give the Bison the one point edge which was enough to secure the win.
