Panther men's basketball rallies for OT win over Sycamores

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa --- UNI men's basketball overcame a 17-point second half deficit on Tuesday night as the Panthers rallied to defeat the Indiana State Sycamore 80-74 in overtime at the McLeod Center.

The Panthers' record jumps to 8-7 on the season and as UNI picked up a fourth straight Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) victory to improve to 4-1 in league play. Indiana State falls to 8-7 and 1-2 in conference action.

UNI struggled to maintain possession of the ball throughout the first half, allowing the Sycamores to score in transition off of early turnovers.
