In the first overtime, the Wildcats led 63-61 with under a minute to play and with possession. Having to shoot the ball, the Wildcats missed but grabbed the offensive rebound before the ball was stripped away. Graceland raced down the court and scored the tying basket with five seconds left.

With one more opportunity, CaRondis Harris-Anderson had an open 12-footer to win the game but the shot was off the mark, sending the game to a second extra period.
