Lamar knocks Sam Houston State out of first with OT win
Frenchwood hit a straightaway 3-pointer with 2:14 left in overtime for a 77-75 lead. The Cardinals then made only 3 of 6 free throws but the Bearkats missed their final five field-goal attempts.
Coming out of a timeout in regulation, Sam Houston's John Dewey drove to the basket off an inbounds play to tie it at 69-all with three seconds left.
Dakarai Henderson and Chris Galbreath Jr. had 12 points each to lead the Bearkats.
The Bearkats (17-8, 8-4) lost their second straight after having won eight in a row to drop into a second-place tie with Stephen F. Austin behind New Orleans (9-3). Lamar (15-9, 7-4) is alone in third after snapping a nine-game losing streak to the Bearkats.
