Storm survival

Mitchell PE Masilun

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock's first game of the season relied on one shot near the rim on a night where plenty of shots were taken far away from it.

Little Rock freshman point guard Markquis Nowell sent UALR's season-opening 101-92 victory against Southeastern Oklahoma State into overtime with a game-tying layup with one second remaining as regulation ended in a 79-79 tie at the Jack Stephens Center.

"My mind was just racing," Nowell said. "I'm thankful it went in."

Nowell's bucket sent the sharpshooting Savage Storm spiraling and the Trojans surging.
