TAMPA, Fla. (AP)—Ty Rogers hit a 3-pointer with three defenders in his face and no time on the clock, and 12th-seeded Western Kentucky stunned Drake 101-99 in overtime Friday in the first round of the NCAA tournament’s West Regional.

The fifth-seeded Bulldogs (28-5) overcame a 16-point deficit in the final 8 minutes of regulation and led 99-98 after Jonathan Cox’s two free throws with 5.7 seconds to play. But Tyrone Brazelton raced across the court and kicked it to Rogers, who drained the biggest shot of his life to give the Hilltoppers (28-6) their first tournament victory since 1995.
