Burton made two free throws to tie the game, 80-80, with 26 seconds to play in regulation, and the game went to overtime after Venning missed BC's only shot on the ensuing possession.

Brown's layup with 1:20 remaining in the second overtime put the Eagles ahead by one before Njie's go-ahead score just over a minute later.

BC shot 60.7 percent from the field in the first half and led 41-35 at halftime. The Eagles made 7 of 12 3-point attempts in the opening 20 minutes.
