Chicago State got more than it bargained for against the 3-21 Houston Baptist Huskies Monday night, managing to pull off a 112-108 victory in OT. Trailing by double digits with under two minutes to play the Cougars surged back into contention, getting five-straight points from David Holston to end regulation and force overtime. In the bonus period Chicago State gained a late advantage on a Mike Wilson three, and preserved its lead with solid free-throw shooting down the stretch. Holston scored 39 for the Cougars, who close out a four-game road trip at NJIT on Saturday.
