Sunday was a back-and-forth battle throughout, with the sides tied at 32 at the break, as Kent State (4-1) tied the game with 10 seconds remaining on a Cian Medley jumper before Michael Cooper's three-pointer at the buzzer bounced off rim to send the game to overtime.

A Kellen Pickett dunk pulled Wright State right back within three, but Kent State hit four straight free throws to seal the game before a final Cooper three-pointer in the final moments.

Cooper finished with a team-high 19 points for Wright State, who also got 10 points from Callaghan and a 10-point, 10-rebound double-double effort from Andrea Holden. Pickett chipped in eight points off the bench while Michael Imariagbe had seven points and Bryan Etumnu finished with six.
