No. 7 Queens Edges Palm Beach Atlantic in Overtime

Willett and Diankulu record double-doubles in the win

Highlights

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.
– In a game that featured 17 lead changes, the seventh-ranked Queens University of Charlotte men's basketball team (5-1) defeated Palm Beach Atlantic University (1-2), 82-74, in overtime on Saturday at Rubin Arena. The Royals were led by Shaun Willett who posted 14 points with 10 rebounds, to record his fifth double-double in six games this season, and Lewis Diankulu, who added 13 points and a career-high 12 rebounds to record his first career double-double.

Up 68-66 with 1:25 remaining, Diankulu's layup gave Queens a four-point advantage entering the game's final minute. Malek Barber hit a free throw with 43 seconds left to pull PBA back within one score, 70-67, and then after a Royals turnover, hit a 3-pointer from the top of the arc that tied the score with 4.2 seconds left. At the buzzer, Daniel Carr's missed layup sent the game to overtime tied at 70.

Queens opened the extra session on an 8-0 run, sparked by a free throw from Carr and a 3-pointer from Van Turner Jr. Carr paced five Royals in double figures with a team-high 16 points. Turner scored 11 points while Blake Morrow scored 10. Queens never trailed in overtime, outscoring PBA 12-4.

Queens shot 47 percent from the floor and 40.9 percent from 3-point range in the winning effort, despite committing 23 turnovers. The Sailfish were held to 40.8-percent shooting and 25.9 percent from distance. PBA was led Jules Jasmin who totaled a game-high 20 points. The Royals outrebounded the Sailfish 48-40.

Queens returns to action next Saturday afternoon, Nov. 24, versus Belmont Abbey College at the Levine Center. Tickets are $6 and all Queens students will receive free admission with their Queens ID. Opening tipoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. Live play-by-play coverage will be available on the Queens Sports Network.
