Aiken hit his go-ahead 3 off a turnover for an 81-79 Eagles' lead with 1:04 left in OT before Casson Rouse made the first of a one-and-one and Mason Peatling put-back the rebound off the second for an 84-79 lead with 40 seconds left.
The Bears closed to 85-81 on Bodie Hume's layup, but Rouse and Peatling each made two free throws before Northern Colorado's Tre'shon Smoots hit a 3 with two seconds left for the final score.
