On the men's side, No. 1 UW-Stevens Point continued its undefeated run through the gantlet of Division III national contenders. After the Pointers held off Whitworth on Saturday night, they battled past Whitman 89-79 in overtime. Photo gallery.
Stevens Point had a two-point lead and the ball with 30 seconds left in regulation, but missed the front end of a one-and-one. Whitman raced down the court and found Josh Duckworth who hit a tough runner off the glass with 1.9 seconds left to tie the game.
In overtime Whitman built a four-point lead before the Pointers rallied to tie it. Stevens Point's Austin Ryf stripped Duckworth and Tyler Tillema followed that with a layup to give the Pointers the lead. Whitman coach Eric Bridgeland exploded after Tillema's basket, picking up two technical fouls and getting ejected. The Pointers converted the free throws and pulled away for the win.
