The MSJC men's basketball team fought from behind Wednesday night on the road and prevailed in overtime as they defeated Copper Mountain 92-90.

The Eagles trailed by 7 at the half after the Fighting Cacti hit a buzzer beating three right before the break.  In the second half the Eagles trailed by as much as 8, before storming back to hold a two point lead with less than 5 seconds to play.  CMC would make a game tying shot with under three seconds remaining and a desperation half court shot by the Eagles came up short sending the game to overtime.

In overtime a pair of Kyle Render three point shots and two technical foul free throws by Dasean Stevens gave MSJC the advantage.  Cameron Durr then added a pair of free throws with one minute to play to give the Eagles their final points of the night.  CMC did have a chance to send the game into double overtime, but a drive to the rim was thwarted by Elijah Shirley as he came up with a big block as time expired. 

Stevens finished the night with a game high 35 points as he connected on 5 of 8 shots from long range.  Render added 25 points and Durr finished with 16.  Shirley added a team best 11 rebounds to go along with 6 points, a block and an assist.

The win gives the Eagles a 19-5 overall record they are now 11-2 in Inland Empire Athletic Conference play.  CMC falls to 14-11 overall and 7-6 in the league.  MSJC will host College of the Desert on Saturday afternoon at 3 pm, following the Eagle women's game at 1.
