He also added seven rebounds, seven assists, three rebounds and three steals while committing just one turnover. Lillis sent the game to overtime by hitting a game-tying 12-foot jumper with 27 seconds left in regulation. He then hit the eventual game-winning basket with 27.3 second remaining in overtime and blocked the Catamounts' game-winning attempt down the other end as time expired.
