The Sycamores finally built a lead there, going up 79-75 with 2:44 on the clock, but then got behind 80-79. After a Myles Walker hook shot gave Indiana State an 81-80 lead, Toure Murry's free throw tied it again, leading to the final overtime.

Wichita State ended the game on a 12-0 run, spurred by Ben Smith's go-ahead 3-pointer.
