Rattlers Win Second Straight SWAC Game

PINE BLUFF, Ark. | Florida A&M men's basketball traveled to Arkansas and had to go to overtime to pull out their second straight win, beating Arkansas-Pine Bluff 71-66. 
 
The Rattlers found themselves down 12 early in the game but battled back to bring the game within one point at the half. The Golden Lions started the second half on a 17-8 run to take a ten-point lead with 13 minutes left in the half. A Johnny Brown layup sparked a 13-0 run for the Rattlers over the next 4:22 to take a 48-45 lead with 8:53 left. The Golden Lion responded on an 18-10 run taking a 63-58 lead with 2:20 left. Keith Littles responded with a huge corner three to make it a one-possession game, and MJ Randolph made a layup to tie it up. Randolph missed a chance to win it in regulation but made the opening bucket of overtime, and the Rattlers never looked back.
