Missouri State beats Loyola of Chicago 82-81 in OT
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- Austin Ruder made 6 of 8 3-pointers to score 22 points, Alize Johnson made the winning free throw in overtime, and Missouri State beat Loyola of Chicago 82-81 on Tuesday night to end the Ramblers' three-game win streak.
It was the Bears' third straight overtime game -- a school first.
The Ramblers led 75-73 on Aundre Jackson's two free throws, but Jarred Dixon's 3-pointer and jumper put the Bears up 78-75. Milton Doyle tied it with a 3 before Dixon missed two free throws and the Ramblers led 81-78 after Jackson's 3-point play with 51 seconds left.

Johnson scored 14 with 12 rebounds for his 14th double-double and Obediah Church scored 12 points with three blocks for the Bears (15-9, 6-5 Missouri Valley).
