Box Score OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — Despite having just two field goals in the final 10 minutes of the game, No. 18 Southern Nazarene got just what it needed to force overtime with Oklahoma City and then got 10 points in overtime from Jon West to score the 63-55 win over OCU.
 
The Crimson Storm (6-1, 2-0 SAC) have now won six straight and are 1-1 in overtime games this year.

It was Stars' first lead since the 8:35 mark in the first half.
 
West then came up clutch again with 34 seconds left when he drove hard to the goal spun and got the layup to fall and OCU missed a last second shot to force overtime.
