YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) — Dwight Wilson’s shot bounced softly off the rim about five times before falling through after time expired, lifting Ohio to an 81-79 win over Youngstown State on Sunday.

Wilson’s heroics were set up when Dwayne Cohill drilled a long 3-pointer with 1.9 seconds left to tie the score at 79.

Wilson was on the edge of the lane when he caught an inbounds pass from halfcourt. He spun to his right and powered up a shot through good defense can crashed to the floor as the ball bounced on the rim.

Jaylin Hunter scored 17 points in the win.
