MJ Wardlow cans a step back three at the horn to win it for the Purples. Deuce Bailey was the unsung hero, running down a missed BG three and sending the ball out of bounds off of a Pikeville player to keep possession for BG. The game winner came moments later. 

 

Here's the play back:

 

? Final from the Ashland Invitational Tournament, per Ray Schaefer: "Makayelus Wardlow's buzzer-beating 3 gives Bowling Green a 62-61 win over Pikeville."

The BGP #20 Purples improve to 10-0. Pikeville (#1 in today's RPI) drops to 8-1.

 

Bowling Green will be facing Elder (OH) who beat Teay's Valley (WV) 79-70 earlier today.

Watched a lot of this one - fantastic back and forth game.  Buttry took a poor shot trying for the go-ahead late, and Purples got a clutch rebound and knocked it off Pikeville to retain possession.  The Wardlow game-winner came on a well executed screen to get him loose, and he buried it from the wing.
