Millersville (17-10, 13-8 PSAC), playing its third game in six days and its second overtime game of the week, ran out of steam in the second half. The Marauders led by four at the break, but quickly fell behind by as many as 12 before making a miracle rally.

Mansfield (8-17, 6-15 PSAC), fighting for its playoff life, led Millersville five with 25 seconds left but couldn't close the door in regulation. Millersville had three opportunities in the final minute to tie the game or take the lead but committed two turnovers and missed a shot. Mansfield took a four-point lead on a Chuck Harper free throw with 10 seconds left, and after Larry Grant missed a 3-pointer at the other end, Elijah Obade tipped it back in for two, bringing Millersville to within 61-59 with just a couple of ticks remaining. The Marauders immediately fouled Harper, sending him to the line for a pair. Harper made the first but missed the second. Bollinger caught carom, and from the free throw line sank the game-tying shot at the buzzer.

Brandon Brown, who finished with a career-high 20 points, banked in a 3-pointer 1:18 into the overtime to give the Marauders a 65-63 lead.
