For the third time in the last six games, 13^th-ranked Lourdes went to overtime on Wednesday evening, but ultimately came up short 86-78 to the University of Michigan-Dearborn inside the Russell J. Ebeid Recreation Center.
 
"I am not happy with our play in the second half or overtime," head coach Dennis Hopson said following the game.  "We didn't share the ball or defend on the other end."
 
The Wolverines came out quick, building an early 20-11 lead after making 6-of-8 three-point attempts in the game's first seven minutes.  The lead was still nine, 30-21, at the 6:40 mark when Lourdes answered with a run of its own.
 
The Gray Wolves closed the half by scoring 23 of the final 29 points to jump in front, including the final eight points of the stanza to take a 44-36 lead into the locker room.  Deuce Martin (Lorain, Ohio/Clearview H.S.) tallied 15 points in the first half, including three triples, helping pace the Lourdes comeback.
 
"Deuce was a bright spot for us tonight," Hopson added.  "I'm happy with the way that he played."
 
Lourdes lead grew to 10 after two technical free throws to start the second half before Michigan-Dearborn battled back.  A 10-2 run by the Wolverines pulled the visitors to within two just five minutes into the period.  The Gray Wolves maintained the lead until a three-pointer at the 10-minute mark gave Michigan-Dearborn a 57-55 advantage.
 
The Gray Wolves took the lead back, building an eight-point edge, 71-63, with 2:42 remaining, but would not score the remainder of regulation.  Michigan-Dearborn pulled within two with 41 seconds to play and tied the game on a pair of free throws by Cody Kegley with 8.4 ticks left on the clock, forcing overtime.
 
Michigan-Dearborn led the entire overtime, as Kegley made a three a minute into the period.  Lourdes cut the deficit to one on a bucket by McRay White (Cleveland, Ohio/Garfield Heights H.S.) at the 2:16 mark, but that would be as close as the Gray Wolves would get the rest of the way.
 
Martin led Lourdes with 22 points off the bench, making 11-of-12 from the free throw line while White added 12 points on 6-of-8 shooting and grabbed a team-high nine rebounds.  Little Anderson (Toledo, Ohio/Cardinal Stritch H.S.) chipped in 11 points while Kenny Coleman (Toledo, Ohio/Saint Francis de Sales H.S.) tallied 10 points and five assists.
 
Kegley led Michigan-Dearborn (15-10, 8-7 WHAC) with 25 points, making seven three-pointers, as Michigan-Dearborn finished 15-of-30 from beyond the arc.  Elwood Tomlinson added 19 points while Jason Gigliotti pulled down 16 rebounds.
 
Lourdes (19-7, 12-4) will have a week off before returning to the hardwood next Wednesday, Feb. 12, as the Gray Wolves travel to Grand Rapids, Mich. to battle Cornerstone.  Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m. inside of Mol Arena.
