The Bulls took a 61-58 lead with 44.6 seconds left in regulation time on a 3-pointer by Jawanza Poland. But BYU’s Charles Abouo forced overtime by hitting a 3-pointer with 31.1 seconds left.

South Florida took a four-point lead early in the first overtime but Fredette tied the score with a short jumper and then gave BYU a 69-66 lead with a 3-pointer with 59 seconds left.

Poland knotted the score at 69 with a 3 with 27.8 seconds left in the first overtime.

Poland scored 12 points and Toarlyn Fitzpatrick added 10 points and 11 rebounds.
