Two other Titans scored in double-figures for the night including 16 from sophomore Donyell Meredith II as the guard recorded the first double-double of the season for IUSB after grabbing a game-high 13 rebounds. Junior guard Dylan Allen added 14 points in 37 minutes off 5-of-15 shooting, going 3-of-9 from behind the arc.

Junior Norell Smith added 10 rebounds, including seven defensive and three offensive for the Titans. As a team, Indiana University South Bend shot 41.7 percent from the field going 35-for-84 while collecting nine team three-pointers on 33 chances.

Heading into the locker room at half, CCU held the 37-35 advantage before IUSB rattled off 30 points in the second half compared to the Eagles' 28. However with just 21 seconds remaining in regulation, CCU's Jahsan Upshaw delivered a three point field goal to send the game into overtime.

In the first five-minute overtime, both teams shot 50 percent from the field but with seconds remaining CCU found itself at the line to seal the win with a pair of free throws. A made free throw and a lane violation forced the game into double OT. The Titans would then roll, outscoring their opponents 16-8 to seal the victory and improve to 2-0 on the season.
