Bilal Abdullah's double-double sparked the Leopard's in 79-69 overtime win at Towson.
Abdullah put up 14 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, but his biggest play might have come at the defensive end. It was Abdullah who swatted away Rodney Spruill's potential game-winning three-pointer with 3 seconds to go in regulation, allowing the Leopards to get to overtime.
In the extra session, Abdullah set the tone, burying the first of three Lafayette three-pointers on the Leopards first possession, putting Lafayette up for good.
Four other players reached double figures for Lafayette, which won its second in a row and sixth in its last seven. Lafayette is now 3-0 in OT games.
Matt Betley scored 14, Michael Gruner 13, Ted Detmer 11 and freshman Deirunas Visockas came off the bench for 14 points.
The Leopards won despite shooting a season-low 40.9 percent (27-66) from the field. The 'Pards were 10 for 30 from three-point range and hit 15 of 19 at the foul line. Lafayette shared the ball well, posting 22 assists on 27 field goals.
Towson shot just 39.1 percent (25-64), including 4 of 18 from the arc.
Lafayette won despite being without starters Andrew Brown and Paul Cummins, who sat out nursing injuries. Brown, the team's leading scorer, has been suffering from plantar fasciitis. No word on Cummins' injury.
