TU extended its winning streak to three last Saturday by defeating Spring Hill at home in overtime, 85-77. The matchup had nine ties and 13 lead changes, but the Golden Tigers were able to pull away late and secure their seventh SIAC home win and gain sole possession of second place in the SIAC West standings.
