Following a missed layup by UW-Oshkosh (11-7, 5-4 WIAC), Richard grabbed a defensive rebound, dribbled to half-court and swished a half-court shot to seal the win for UW-Stevens Point (14-4, 8-1 WIAC). The three-pointer was Richard's third three-pointer of the season and the sixth of his career.

The victory was the 14th consecutive UWSP win in the series, dating back to 2009. The Pointers have won seven-straight home games in the series, as the Titans' last win in Stevens Point is Jan. 5, 2008.

Early in overtime, AJ Mueller drilled a three-pointer to give UW-Oshkosh a three-point lead, as part of his game-high 19 points. The Pointers then claimed a one-point advantage on layups by Joe Ritchay (Wisconsin Rapids, WI/Lincoln) and Richard but two free throws by Mueller swung the lead back to the visitors.

Austin Ryf (Winneconne, WI/Winneconne) then hit his third three-pointer of the game, making the score 66-64 UWSP. UWO's Alex Olson tied the score at 66-66 with a layup with 50 seconds remaining, setting up Richard's heroics. The teams combined for 10 ties and 13 lead changes in the game.

UW-Oshkosh held a three-point lead with 1:44 left in regulation but Richard and Ritchay combined to hit three free throws in a 31-second span. Both teams had shots to win in the final 15 seconds of regulation but neither fell.
