IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Tim Parham scored 18 of his 21 points after halftime and Maryland-Eastern Shore rallied from 14 down to beat Utah Valley State 75-72 in overtime Tuesday night in a Guardians Classic consolation game.
Maryland-Eastern Shore (1-1) sent the game into overtime at 67-all on Antonio McMillion's three-point play with 20.7 seconds left, then held on after scoring the first six points of the extra session.
It was a sharp turnaround for the Hawks, who start three freshmen and lost to No. 20 Iowa 86-41 on Monday night.
Utah Valley State (0-2) never trailed until overtime. The Wolverines, who led 27-13 in the first half, were up 67-64 after Sylvester Allison's two free throws with 33.2 seconds remaining.
McMillion, who finished with 15 points, then drove the ball down the lane and hit a leaning shot as he was fouled by Pierre Thomas. He made the free throw to produce the first tie since it was 2-2 and Allison missed a 3-point shot just before the buzzer.
Matt Peterson led Utah Valley State with 21 points, Allison scored 12 and Ben Devoe had 10. Troy Jackson scored 16 for Maryland-Eastern Shore.
Jackson's steal and layup a minute into overtime gave the Hawks their first lead, 69-67. Parham then went across the lane for a scoop shot and Jackson scored on a putback, making it 73-67.
Trailing 73-71, Utah Valley State had a chance to tie it when Allison went to the line with 39.7 seconds left. But he made only one of two shots, McMillion grabbed the rebound and sank two free throws with 28.3 seconds to play.
With the clock winding down, Utah Valley State could manage nothing better than a long 3-point attempt by Allison that bounced away and was rebounded by Maryland-Eastern Shore's Jesse Brooks.
