WILMORE, Ky. --- Asbury Men's Basketball traveled to Pippa Passes, KY on Thursday night to take on an undefeated Alice Lloyd team. Asbury outlasted Alice Lloyd in a double-overtime thriller 116-114, being the only team so far this season to get the best of ALC. AU has now won seven of their last ten as they continue to play strong basketball going down the stretch of the season. 

Asbury went into the locker room at half with a strong 49-45 lead, but Alice Lloyd came charging back in the second. AU would find themselves down 106-103 with only 2.5 seconds remaining in overtime, taking the ball out with the full length of the court to go. Dakota Walden made a long pass to Nick Fort at the half court line as he swung it over to Eric Powell for a last second 35 footer that drained the bottom of the net, 106-106. After twelve total lead changes in this battle, AU would win the 2nd overtime 12-10 and come away with the victory, 116-114. 
 

* Nick Fort led AU with 36 pts (career-high), 13 reb, and 5 ast (his seventh consecutive double-double and eleventh on the year)

* Eric Powell was right behind Fort with 31 pts (7-12 3PT)

* Dakota Walden was eyeing a double-double as he added 20 pts, 7 ast, and 4 reb

* Clayton Winter had a double-double with 15 pts and 11 reb (7-10 FG)

* Asbury made 13 3PT on the night, shooting 52% from three

* AU had an impressive 19 ast in the game

* Asbury's defense held Alice Lloyd to only 6 3PT

* 12 offensive reb were key for AU in completing the win

"We're just so incredibly happy for our guys. That was a game where we could've put our heads down late in regulation and felt sorry for ourselves (when Alice Lloyd went on their run). But we stayed the course and believed in each other. Players made huge plays and Coach Shouse did a fantastic job of putting them in situations to do so. Alice Lloyd is very tough and a ton of credit goes out to their team."

The Eagles go to Boyce College on Tuesday night, as they look to win their fourth in a row.
