BALTIMORE (AP) -- Brian Neller scored 21 points and Maryland-Baltimore County defeated Binghamton 83-79 in overtime Thursday night, sending the Bearcats to their seventh straight loss.

UMBC, which snapped a three-game losing streak, had a chance to win at the end of regulation, when Laurence Jolicoeur shot three free throws with 2 seconds left. He made two, tying the score at 73 and forcing the extra period.
Two free throws and a layup by Justin Fry in overtime gave the Retrievers the lead for good at 79-75. Jolicoeur sealed the victory on two free throws with 2 seconds left in overtime.
