Miles could not hold on to a lead midway through overtime and saw its four-game win streak snapped in a 63-60 loss Monday afternoon against Montevallo at Knox-Windham Gymnasium.
The Golden Bears (7-4) never lead in the second half but a
Devonte Fuller layup with 50 seconds left tied the game at 53.
Damian Archer had a chance to win it in regulation but his shot attempts was off the mark and the game headed to overtime. A basket by
Jeffrey Dockett with 2:51 left in the extra period gave Miles a 58-55 advantage - its largest of the game. But a 3-pointer by Kaleel Solomon with 23 seconds left gave the Falcons (6-8) a 61-58 lead. Dockett had a chance to tie the game at the buzzer but his desperation 3 clanged off the rim.
Carl Johnson had 19 points and Zach Jackson added 12 points for Montevallo. Fuller (16 points, 10 rebounds) had his first double-double of the year while Dockett (14 points) and
Avery Brown (12 points, six rebounds) had solid efforts for Miles, which hosts Paine on Saturday. Tipoff is scheduled for 3 p.m.
