Champions! Wolf Pack holds on to win CBI title

Tyron Criswell scored 21 points and grabbed 11 rebounds and Nevada beat Morehead State, 85-82, in overtime to win the ninth College Basketball Invitational on Friday night.

Morehead State’s Xavier Moon’s nearly tied the game with a last-second half-court shot that hit the rim.

With 13 seconds left in overtime, Nevada guard D.J. Fenner attacked the basket and passed to guard Lindsey Drew near the rim. A Morehead State defender deflected the ball into the hands of Criswell, who grabbed the loose ball under the basket and gave the Wolf Pack an 83-82 lead on a layup.
