GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. -- The Siena Heights men's basketball team has now won two in a row after the win at Aquinas in WHAC action on Saturday afternoon.

Colin Nutter tallied a double-double and was the leading scorer for the Saints with 21 points and 10 rebounds. The other double-double came from Shawn Brown with 13 points and 15 rebounds. 

Off the bench, Gavin Sluss got hot from the three-point line, as he went 4/5 and tallied 15 total points. 

In the first half, Aquinas had a 29-20 lead and was in control for the majority of the first half. It was not until the second half that the Saints regained the lead at 38-37 at the 13:30 mark after Colin Nutter made a layup. The last lead the Saints had was 18-17 with 7:01 left to go in the first half. To end the second half it was very even. At the 1:32 mark, Shawn Brown made two free throws to put the Saints up two at 60-58, and on the ensuing Aquinas possession, Aquinas made a layup to tie the game 60-60 and that was the score heading into overtime. 

In the first overtime, the teams traded baskets and the game was still undecided at 69-69. 

In the second overtime, the Saints jumped out to a 5-0 start after Shawn Brown made two free throws and Gavin Sluss hit a three to put the Saints up two possessions at 74-69 with 3:46 left. Aquinas did not give up though as an 8-2 run for Aquinas occurred to take a 77-76 lead. After a few defensive stops, the Saints got the ball back, and with 0:21 seconds left, Delano Williams made a three-pointer to put the Saints up for good at 79-77. After a defensive stop and Delano Williams rebound, the Saints came out victorious against WHAC conference opponent Aquinas.
