NATCHITOCHES, La. -- Ishmael Lane scored 18 points and grabbed seven rebounds and Northwestern State earned its first win of the year, beating Alabama A&M 70-66 in overtime Friday night.
DeAndre Love's layup with 87 seconds left made it 65-63 and the Demons (1-4) led the rest of the way. Alabama A&M turned it over on its next possession. Lane missed a jump shot but Love got the offensive rebound with 37 seconds left. Lane then buried a 3-pointer with nine seconds to go and sealed the win.
Lane made 1 of 2 foul shots with 33 seconds left to tie it at 61-all and force overtime. C.J. Jones missed a short-shot attempt for the Bulldogs at the buzzer.
