McNeese 2025 dominated by double digits most of the game, and Cleveland State 1986 had only 4 steals and trailed 85-74 with 3:58 (7 possessions to play). then they exploded to come up with 8 steals in the rest of the way to finish with their actual season average that year of 12 steals a game.
Eddie Bryant hit a buzzer beater to tie the game 93-93 at the end of regulation, which already made the game the 11th highest scoring of more than 350 Value Add Basketball Games.
However until the final possession they had not blocked a single shot or led once in the game, but Clinton Smith blocked a potential game winner by Christian Shumate (15 points, 9 rebounds, 5 blocked shots) and then Smith also hit the game-winner at the other end for a 114-112 thriller in what was the 2nd highest scoring game we had ever played behind only Loyola Marymount defeating Kentucky 138-116.
Cleveland State advances to face the 1957 Canisius team. Here are the six games we have played in which more than 200 points have been scored, and the box score is at the bottom. The lowest scoring game we had was a win by the last undefeated team in history - Bobby Knight's 1976 Indiana team, which beat Michigan's Fab Five 55-46.
