Black Hills State men's basketball lost to Metro State, 84-83 in overtime Saturday night at the Donald E. Young Center.

The Yellow Jackets (3-5, 3-5 RMAC) forced overtime with a Joel Scott layup in the final second of regulation but couldn't hang on in overtime.

Scott led the offense with a season-high 32 points, and his seven rebounds matched Kevin Senghore-Peterson and Adam Moussa for the team lead.

Senghore-Peterson added 17 points while Sindou Cisse totaled 14 along with four rebounds and a steal. Moussa grabbed two steals and dished four assists, while adding nine points on a trio of 3-pointers.

Metro State got out to an early 5-0 lead, but the Yellow Jackets would catch-up, and then go ahead 18-16 on a Scott trey at 10:28 in the first. The two teams would go back and forth the rest of the half, but the Roadrunners held the advantage, 33-28 heading into the locker room.

Five straight points from Scott out of the break and a Senghore-Peterson layup pulled BHSU back even at 35-35 with 17:35 left in regulation.

Cisse gave the Yellow Jackets the lead a few minutes later (14:59) with a layup to move ahead, 43-41 before Metro State quickly jumped back on top. Both teams battled down the stretch as BHSU was able to keep the game within striking distance.

Down four with 1:13 left, field goals from Cisse and Scott within the final 60 seconds tied the game at 71-all to sent it into overtime.

Overtime showed more of the same as the two teams stayed within three points most of the period. BHSU saw themselves down 80-73 before charging back to make it a one-point game, but the team couldn't finish the comeback.
