EKU wins on Cosey’s 37-foot buzzer-beater

Herald-Leader wire services

    ORDER REPRINT →

February 02, 2014 08:17 AM

Senior Glenn Cosey banked in a 37-footer right before the buzzer to give the Eastern Kentucky men’s basketball team an improbable 79-78 win over visiting Southeast Missouri Saturday night in McBrayer Arena.

Eastern Kentucky (16-7, 7-3 OVC) trailed by 10 points with just under four minutes to play before making a furious rally.

The Colonels pulled even with 55 seconds left behind a Tarius Johnson tip-in.

Southeast Missouri (12-11, 3-6) refused to give up the lead as Lucas Nutt hit a floater with 39 seconds left. Cosey hit a pair of free throws with 26 seconds remaining, but SEMO’s Tyler Stone netted a putback with 6.6 seconds on the clock to keep the Red-hawks ahead by two.
