Little Anderson (Toledo, Ohio/Cardinal Stritch H.S.) made two free throws with 0.5 seconds remaining on Saturday afternoon as 13^th-ranked Lourdes stormed back from 13 down with 2:10 to play to defeat Indiana Tech 73-72 inside the Russell J. Ebeid Recreation Center.
 
"The biggest thing tonight was the energy was there and this was a bounce back game for us," head coach Dennis Hopson said after the game.  "I told the guys they have to play until the last whistle and the guys did that tonight.  I'm really proud of the guys and their fight."
 
Indiana Tech held a 70-57 lead with 2:10 to play after making a pair of free throws before the Gray Wolves made their comeback.  Kenny Coleman (Toledo, Ohio/Saint Francis de Sales H.S.) started the run with a four-point play after being fouled while making a three-pointer.  After a steal by Tyler Davis (Pontiac, Mich./West Bloomfield H.S.), Coleman drained another triple to pull Lourdes within six at the 1:40 mark.
 
The Warriors missed the front end of a one-and-one on their next possession and Coleman drew a foul, making a pair of free throws at the other end of the floor.  After Indiana Tech answered with a pair of free throws themselves, Davis hit a three to make it a one-point game with a minute to play.
 
Against Lourdes sent Indiana Tech to the foul line and the Warriors missed both attempts before Coleman made two free throws with 37.7 seconds to play, pulling the Gray Wolves within 72-71.  With 11.6 seconds left, the visitors missed a shot inside and the rebound went out of bounds, giving Lourdes one final chance.
 
Anderson was driving in the lane when he was fouled and stepped to the free throw line where he hit the two game winners.
 
"We made free throws when it counted tonight," Hopson added.
