With just five seconds left in regulation,Marquettecenter Ryan Rosburg scored on a put back to tie the game at 64-64. Even after being outscored 23-16 in the fourth quarter, the Lancers had a chance to win it when a long three pointer by senior Joel Pennington rimmed out as time expired.
Pennington redeemed himself, though, in overtime by hitting a three pointer to put the Lancers ahead for good. He and senior Nick Messer tied for a team-high 21 points.
The game started with a 9-2 Marquette run fueled by a ferocious breakaway dunk by Rosburg, who finished with a game-high 27 points and 16 rebounds before fouling out in overtime.
