The Bulldogs defense surrounded Joe Toussaint in the lane at the other end and he passed it out to Pop Isaacs, who drove the left side of the paint for a tying layup with 3.8 to go. Telfort’s heave from midcourt just before the horn did not hit the rim.
Telfort also made a 3-pointer in overtime and Pierre Brooks was awarded a basket following a goaltending to give Butler a 92-86 lead. Brooks added a key 3-pointer from the corner with 43.2 left.
