Brendan Mora tallied a double-double with 23 points and 14 rebounds and Pete Boyle added 18 points and 12 rebounds as Pomona-Pitzer walked across campus and won at No. 15 Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, 80-76 in overtime. Pomona-Pitzer came out of a tie game at half and went on a 15-2 run to take a 49-36. The Sagehens maintained their big lead for the majority of the second half, but the Stags started to make a comeback with about five minutes left. CMS cut the lead to a one-possession game with two minutes to play and took the lead after a big three by the Stags to take a 67-66 lead with 16 seconds to play. Pomona-Pitzer struggled from the line in the second half but was able to hit one at the line to send the game into overtime tied at 6.

The Sagehens started overtime with a big three by Mora, but CMS returned fire to take a 71-70 lead. The big turning point of overtime was an and-one by Hayden Moser that put Pomona-Pitzer up by two possessions at 75-71. The Stags were forced to foul and the Sagehens closed out the game at the line to walk away with the win in the first meeting of the Sixth Street Rivalry this season.

With big man Nate Karren on the bench because of foul trouble, No. 6 Williams shot just 4-for-23 from the floor in the first half and visiting No. 11 Middlebury led 24-13 in Chandler Gymnasium. When Karren came back after halftime, the offense returned, but it wasn't enough as the Panthers capped off a pretty impressive week by winning at Williams, 60-55. Middlebury (15-2, 4-1 NESCAC) led by 10 with 1:18 to play before Williams made it interesting as Cole Prewitt-Smith caught fire and scored 10 of his 20 points in the final 75 seconds. Alex Sobel had another big day for Middlebury, pouring in 18 points and adding 13 rebounds. The Panters played two games on the week, winning at No. 4 Keene State and at Williams, which fell to 16-2, 3-2.

Playing on their old floor, Roanoke found some old Bast Center matchup and led No. 2 Randolph-Macon 21-14 at the half. In fact, the Maroons led by eight after two Kasey Draper free throws early in the second perioid. But the Yellow Jackets went on an 28-8 run, turning that deficit into a 47-35 lead, and went on to win 58-46. Keishawn Pulley Jr. scored 11 second-half points off the bench for Macon (17-1, 9-0 Old Dominion Athletic Conference), all of them during that key run. Miles Mallory finished with a game-high 16 points, adding 18 rebounds, five assists and three blocked shots, while Pulley scored 13 and Josh Talbert added 10. Roanoke (14-4, 7-2) shot just 8-for-27 in the second half, 0-for-6 from beyond the arc, and was led by 13 points from Efosa U-Edosomwan.

Collen Gurley and Christian Parker scored 22 points apiece to lead five starters in double figures and help No. 3 Mount Union roll past Heidelberg 94-71. The Purple Raiders (16-1, 9-1 Ohio Athletic Conference) were pretty unstoppable, as they shot 59% from the floor, and 62% from 3-point range in the win, including 20-for-33 from the floor (61%) in the second half. Eighteen players got into the game for Mount Union. That win, plus John Carroll's 96-67 win at Muskingum, sets up a Top 10 matchup between the No. 3 Purple Raiders and No. 9 Blue Streaks for Wednesday.

No. 21 Calvin went down to No. 16 Trine in a battle of ranked teams and a battle of teams unbeaten in MIAA play, and it was the Knights who came away with the hard-fought road win, 54-47. The Knights started the second half with an 8-0 run as they got into the paint for layups on offense while holding the Thunder scoreless for nearly five minutes of play. Trine made several runs to cut the Calvin lead as low as four in the second half, but the Knights answered each time with big baskets from Jalen Overway and Uchenna Egekeze to keep momentum and the lead on the way to the win. Egekeze finished the day with a team-high 14 points on offense and also was crucial in holding Thunder leading scorer Brent Cox to 10 points on 3-for-19 shooting.

No. 23 UW-La Crosse picked up a 68-66 win at UW-Eau Claire on Saturday night. UWL led 66-58 with 3:03 left after Craig Steele's jumper, but Eau Claire scored the next eight points to force a 66-66 tie on Brock Voigt's jumper with :27 remaining. The Eagles' Will Fuhrmann was fouled on a drive to the basket with five seconds left. He converted both free throws to give UWL a 68-66 lead. After a UW-Eau Claire timeout, UWL's Ethan Anderson blocked Voigt's potential game-tying layup at the buzzer. Fuhrmann scored a team-high 17 points and added six rebounds as UWL improved to 15-4, 6-2 WIAC.

Jeremiah Johnson became Mary Hardin-Baylor's all-time leading scorer as the No. 24 Cru rallied to get past Concordia (Texas) on Saturday. Johnson got his 1,696th career point in the second half on the way to 18 points. He also got a key steal with 36 seconds left, to help Luke Feely score and get an and-one to put UMHB (13-4, 8-2 American Southwest Conference) up 94-92 with 20 seconds left. Feely rebounded a Tornado miss with five seconds left and Kyle Wright hit a foul shot for the final margin of 95-92. Ty Prince scored a game-high 25 points, to go along with Johnson's 18 and Wright's 16. Antoine Henderson was one of three scorers with 20-plus points for the Tornados (9-7, 6-4), scoring 24 on 10-for-13 shooting.

No. 17 Guilford started the game on a 9-0 run and ended the first half on an 8-0 run and went up to cruise past Virginia Wesleyan 65-47. Tyler Dearman had a double-double with 21 points and 10 rebounds and Julius Burch added another with 12 points and 12 boards to help Guilford improve to 15-3, 8-1 ODAC. The Quaers hold opponents to 53.9 points per game.

Raheem Anthony has had a number of big games this season for St. Mary's (Minn.) and he had another on Saturday afternoon, as he matched his career high with 41 points in an 85-81 win against Concordia-Moorhead. The Cardinals won for the ninth time in 10 games, bouncing back from a 75-72 loss at Macalester on Wednesday. Concordia was within one, 82-81 with 13.4 seconds to play and the Cobbers' Matthew Johnson on the line for one shot. Concordia, however, was whistled for a lane violation — on what would have been the game-tying made free throw. Anthony was fouled on SMU's ensuring possession and promptly knocked down both free throws — his ninth and 10 in a row from the line for the game — and Bruce Lockwood added another free throw seven seconds later to seal the win. Anthony shot 14-for-19 from the floor and was perfect on his 10 free throw attempts, while adding eight assists and eight rebounds. He averages 24.5 points per game.

Despite a furious second-half Drew comeback, Catholic University steadied itself to earn a 96-90 double overtime victory in New Jersey. Jesse Hafemeister and Sean Neylon combined for 54 points in the victory with each player staying on the floor for at least 45 minutes of game action. Drew scored the final nine points of regulation with Kevin Cronin hitting two free throws with six seconds left to send the game to overtime. At the 2:04 mark of the second overtime, Hafemeister knocked down a jump shot to give Catholic an 89-87 lead. Catholic would not give back the lead from there, using a 10-0 run to close it out before a final Drew three at the buzzer ended the game 96-90.

Davidson Hubbard scored a game-high 30 points and added a team-high 14 rebounds as Hampden-Sydney improved to 14-4 with a 77-64 road win at Salisbury in a non-conference game. It's the 12th win in 13 games for the Tigers, who also got 18 points from Ryan Clements. "Slow start today, but the guys turned it on in the second half and we were able to put together some stops," said H-SC coach Caleb Kimbrough. "Big games from Ryan and (Davidson) Hubb really helped us. Big shout out to Ryan for scoring his 1,000th point. Such a huge accomplishment, especially considering we have had two abbreviated seasons."
