Howard Bison wins overtime thriller over Delaware Blue Hens

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Howard University guard Glenn Andrews scored 28 points and hit a game-tying three-pointer to force overtime as the Bison men’s basketball team posted an 88-83 victory over the University of Delaware in an overtime thriller Thursday night at Burr Gymnasium.

The Bison, who improved to 4-9 on the season while snapping a four-game losing streak, also got 16 points from Calvin Thompson and 11 from Dadrian Collins. Andrews, playing in just his third game for Howard after transferring from Tulsa, went 9 of 18 from the field including 6 of 12 from behind the arc as the Bison snapped a three-game skid to the Blue Hens.

Delaware, which dropped to 5-5 on the year, got a career-high 17 points from freshman guard Jarvis Threatt, while junior forward Jamelle Hagins posted his seventh consecutive double-double with 15 points and a game-high 15 rebounds. Devon Saddler reached double figures for the ninth time in 10 games by pouring in 14 points, while Josh Brinkley had 12 for the Blue Hens.

The game was tied at 70-70 in the final minute when Saddler drove the right side before feeding Kyle Anderson, who buried a three-pointer from the right wing to put Delaware in front by three with 43 seconds on the clock.
