Bulls Fall to Princeton in Overtime

It was quite a battle between two NET Top 50 teams, but Princeton (NET 40) defeated Buffalo (NET 43) in overtime 79–77. Buffalo is now 6–3 on the season.

Buffalo’s super-senior forward Summer Hemphill sent the game into overtime by connecting on two free throws with 1 second left in the fourth quarter to make the score 66–66. Hemphill had been fouled taking a shot after catching a throw-in from underneath the Buffalo basket. Just before that, Princeton had made one of two free-throws with 2.5 seconds left to take the lead. Bulls coach Felisha Legette-Jack called timeout, allowing Buffalo to have a throw-in from their front court, but a lob pass to Hemphill was knocked out of bounds by the Tigers, leading to a throw-in and Hemphill’s free throws.
