EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Randy Holbrook scored 28 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and made a pair of key free throws late in overtime Jan. 8 as Southern Indiana posted an 87-82 win over Northern Kentucky University at the PAC Arena.

Southern Indiana (9-3 overall, 6-1 Great Lakes Valley Conference) used 7-for-10 shooting from the free-throw line in overtime to hold off NKU. Holbrook, a 6-foot-9 senior who scored five points in overtime, made two free throws with 11.7 seconds left to give the Screaming Eagles an 87-82 cushion.
