Binghamton held a 50-47 edge late, but one of eight Corning 3-pointers on the night tied it and eventually led to overtime.

In the three-minute OT, Roberto Jensen opened the scoring with a 3-pointer (53-50). After Corning hit 1-of-2 free throws (53-51), Nicky Snyder scored on a strong inside move (55-51) Corning came back down the floor, though, and hit another 3-pointer (55-54) just before Isiah Turner scored on the inside on a nice pass from Snyder (57-54). Binghamton made a couple strong defensive stops, and Corning missed three free throws with under 1:30 to play.

After a missed Corning shot with 12.7 seconds to go, Snyder was fouled after he controlled aa rebound. He hit the first of his two free throws (58-54) to secure the win.
