Siena shoots down 'Saders in OT
Holy Cross managed to force overtime, but faltered once it got there in a loss at Siena.

Tim Clifford (26 points) hit a pair of three-pointers in the final 12 seconds of regulation, giving the Crusaders (7-2) a chance to pull out a game in which it trailed most of the afternoon. But once it reached the extra session, Holy Cross went cold, missing its first six shots to allow Siena to pull away for good.

Siena (6-3) jumped to a 75-70 lead. Then, unlike regulation, where it missed three foul shots in the final minute to allow HC to send the game to OT, the Saints made 9 of 10 at the stripe to seal it.

Clifford led four Holy Cross players in double figures. Colin Cunningham and Pat Doherty each added 15 and Alex Vander Baan had 13 for the Crusaders, who went 27 for 62 (43.5 percent) from the field and turned the ball over 17 times.

Siena's Edwin Ubiles went 11 of 13 from the field lo lead all scorers with 29. Ubiles scored 22 of his points after the intermission. The Saints went 27 of 53 (50.9 percent) from the field and hit 25 of 32 free throws.
