Shawn Savage hit a 3-pointer from the corner as time expired in regulation, but the Campbellsville University Tigers were unable to hold on for the win, falling 89-88 in overtime. Mid-Continent University's
Marvin Bolden hit two free throws with a half second remaining in overtime for the win.
Â
Bolden was fouled by Savage on the final play, as the Tigers struggled to defend the Cougars' drive late.
"We should have capitalized there and kept momentum, but instead we kept putting people on the foul line and giving up dribble drives," CU head coach Keith Adkins said. "I'm obviously, as a coach, not doing the job that we should in defending the dribble and keeping the other guy in
front of us. I'm also obviously not doing the job getting the guys ready to play ...
The message is not getting across, and I'll shoulder that and take responsibility."
Savage hit six 3-pointers in the game, while keeping CU hold its lead when it had it and keeping the Tigers in the game at other moments. He finished with 22 points off the bench. Caleb Harris led the Tigers with 24 points.
The loss was the first for CU in the 10 years of the Lou Cunningham Classic.
In the first game of the day, Lindsey Wilson College beat Bluefield College, 68-63.
CU (3-1) travels to Union University in Jackson, Tenn. on Tuesday.
