YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) -- Gary Talton led five players in double figures with 23 points, grabbed nine rebounds and dished out eight assists in Illinois-Chicago's 88-83 triple overtime win against Horizon League foe Youngstown State on Sunday.

Daniel Barnes added 20 points, Josh Crittle tallied 18 points and 12 rebounds, Marc Brown came off the bench for 12 points and Hayden Humes chipped in 10 for Illinois-Chicago.

Talton's jumper with 2 seconds left in regulation sent the game into overtime; Kendrick Perry, who had 29 points for Youngstown State (14-11, 6-6), hit a 3-pointer with 2 seconds left to force a second OT, and Humes' trey with 48 seconds showing produced the final extra frame.

In the third OT, Illinois-Chicago (15-10, 6-6) led by four before Perry cut it to 78-77 with a three-point play at the 1:06 mark. But Barnes answered with a 3 and Tralton hit two free throws to seal it.

This is a damn shame, this team should have 5 or 6 more wins now than it does.  Expect another 15 or 16 win season when we could have had 20 or 21.

AGREE

I watched the highlights of the game on ysusports and was once again amazed how #5 literally and I mean literally seems as though he hands the ball to the opposing team when he attempts a pass.  He seems to do it every game.  Its like hot potato with the guy.  Its junior high basketball.  To make things worse its always at the top of the key and results in fast break points.  Anyway, looking at the stats you cant have a player go 1 of 9 from the free throw line and expect to win close games.  This team has the talent to be better than .500 which is what they are if you throw those D3 games out.

we deserved to lose, no excuses - free throws cost the game
