After BU's 3-point attempt came up empty, Williams drove down the left side of the lane and hit a floater from seven feet out right along the edge of the paint with just 9.6 seconds to go. A desperation 3-pointer from BU fell short at the buzzer, sending NSU to its first overtime game this year.

A pair of free throws from junior LaTre'e Russell extended the lead to 52-44, but BU scored eight straight to tie it up.
