Brooklyn, NY---Looking like the game might have gone into a third overtime, York's freshman forward Ryan Smart would get one to go at the buzzer on an inbound from under the their own basket that gave the Cardinals the 96-94 double overtime victory.  The Bulldogs drop to 16-5 overall and 9-4 in the CUNYAC with the loss; York moves to 7-14 and 4-8 with the victory. 
 
Trailing by two points with 24 seconds remaining in the fourth period, the BC junior guard Chris McIllhatton would steal the ball on a York pass down the sideline, miss the contested fast break lay-up, but senior guard Dillon Williams collected the offensive rebound and was fouled on his put-back.  He hit both free throws to tie the game before York's heroics.  Williams was the one who knocked down the three-pointer with :36 left in the first overtime that forced the second.  He also hit a clutch three-pointer that helped the Bulldogs pull within two points of the Cardinals with :45 remaining in overtime.  That three led to senior guard Egzon Gjonbalaj's game-tying free throws with: 22 left in regulation, which eventually forced the first overtime period. 
 
York would take a 45-35 lead in the first minute of the second half.  However, the Bulldogs would go on an 11-2 run to tie the game at 47 on a senior forward Dennis Balsam made jumper.  The game would turn into a dogfight for the rest of regulation.
