Behrend Lions Drop Heartbreaker in Overtime
The
Penn State Behrend men’s basketball team dropped a heartbreaking 79-77
overtime decision to visiting Pitt-Greensburg on Saturday.
Pitt-Greensburg's Daniel Waajid scored with 2.1 seconds remaining in
overtime for the deciding basket.
Senior JJ Perguson (Summerville/Clarion-Limestone) hit one of two free
throws with 0.2 seconds remaining in the second half to force the overtime.
Ferguson finished with 19 points but left the game to due to an injury in
the extra period.
Sophomore Kevin
Buczynski (Erie/Villa Maria) led all scorers with 31 points but fouled out
in overtime. Senior Justin Jennings desperation three point shot at
the overtime buzzer did not go down and he finished with six points and five
assists.
Matt Rowland led the Bobcats with 21 points, including five three point baskets, and Waajid finished with ten points.
Saturday's loss is the first at home this season for the Behrend Lions (14-4, 8-3). They will attempt to rebound from the game on Tuesday, January 31, when the Medaille Mavericks (3-12, 2-6) travel to the Junker Center for a 8:00 p.m. AMCC tip-off.
