CHARLESTON, S.C. – Derrin Boyd and Ante Brzovic delivered two 20-point performances to help the College of Charleston men's basketball team win an 88-83 overtime thriller over Elon on Saturday night at TD Arena.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Charleston started the game with three straight triples from Brzovic, CJ Fulton, and Boyd to take an early 11-7 lead.
• After leading 20-12, a 6-0 Phoenix run cut the Cougar advantage to two. Key hustle plays and back-to-back put backs from Elijah Jones helped keep the Cougars in front, leading 30-28 with just under eight minutes to play.
• Elon tied the game at 30-30 on a pair of free throws with seven minutes to play before another Boyd triple regained the Charleston lead. The Cougars proceeded to go on a 7-0 run while holding Elon scoreless for over four minutes.
• The teams combined 5-23 from the field to end the half and send the Cougars into the locker room with a 44-36 advantage. Brzovic led Charleston with 11 points in the frame followed by Boyd with ten.
• After going more than three minutes without a field goal in the second half, Charleston maintained a 52-50 edge with thirteen minutes to play. The Phoenix again cut it to one at 57-56 before a Justas Stonkus three erupted TD Arena.
• Elon took their first lead since 7-5 in the first half with two minutes play and led 71-70 with 6.9 seconds to play. The Phoenix fouled Brzovic as time expired to send the senior to free throw line and tie the contest at the end of regulation.
• Charleston went on a 6-0 overtime run to seal the victory, sinking 11-13 free throws in the extra frame.
