Kameron Bundy answered a Quincy prayer with one of his own, a 40-foot game-winner at the buzzer to lift Drury to a thrilling 90-88 overtime victory over the Hawks in their Great Lakes Valley Conference matchup Saturday afternoon at the O'Reilly Family Event Center.

On the annual "Great Southern Throwback Day," the Panthers came up with their second straight Saturday stunner. A week ago, coach Steve Hesser's Panthers trailed at Missouri-St. Louis by 22 with 16 minutes to play, then rallied to claim an 80-76 overtime victory.

This time, it was "only" a 20-point, second-half deficit. A sluggish Drury squad came to life late once again, saving the best for last - with 1.6 seconds left, a bullet in-bounds pass from Ben Fisher (former Nixa High School star quarterback) on the baseline to a sprinting, cutting Bundy near half-court, who took a couple dribbles and fired, drawing nothing but net as the final horn sounded and the DU Fanthers stormed the court in jubilation as the Panthers improved to 14-5 overall and remained in a first-place tie in the GLVC West (with Truman) at 8-3.

Bundy's heroics came after Quincy's Godson Eneogwe had hit a spinning, fading, near impossible 3-pointer from the right corner with 1.5 seconds left to put the Hawks seemingly in line for the victory at 88-87.

Game officials huddled over a replay monitor only briefly to review Bundy's 3-pointer, one that left little doubt that it was going to count as the Panthers outscored Quincy 16-14 in the extra period.

Drury had trailed 42-28 at halftime in this one after a woeful 6-for-26 shooting effort in the first half (23 percent) to Quincy's 15 of 30 (50 percent).

Down 20 to the Hawks (61-41) with 13:58 to go after a Quincy jumper from Herm Senor II, the Panthers cut that down to 10 (63-53) over the next five minutes, including big 3-pointers from freshman Drew Moore and senior Drake Patterson. Drury had the deficit down to five after another Patterson 3-pointer with 5:37 remaining to make it 67-62, and then caught the Hawks at 68-all when freshman Trevor Clay canned a 3-pointer from the right wing with 4:07 to play in regulation.

But regulation came down to Quincy (11-10, 5-6) holding the ball for the final potential game-winner, with Evan McGaughey's 3-pointer falling away before the buzzer to send it to overtime.

In the extra period, Bundy nailed a 3-pointer to get the Panthers on top, but Quincy countered, and back and forth they went. It was 85-all with 51 seconds to go, but Drury went on top when John Caraballo - who was 5-for-10 from the line on the season before Saturday's contest - made a pair with 27 seconds left to put DU ahead 87-85.

That set the stage for Quincy's premature heroics from Eneogwe with 1.6 seconds left, only to be topped by Bundy's bomb.

"Sometimes you've got to have some of those (go in) ... it was kind of like 'right back at you' after their guy made just a great shot," Drury coach Steve Hesser said. "As poor as we played (early), to win the game ... I've got to do a better job of getting our guys ready. We've got to play basketball, and we're not doing that now for several minutes a game.

"But we really came out in the second half defensively and did some good things, got some stops. We showed some fight in the second half, or we'd have been run out of our own building."

Cameron Adams had 25 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Panthers, while Bundy finished with 23 points and Patterson had 12, all on 3-pointers.

Drury went 28 of 36 from the free-throw line (78 percent), while the Hawks struggled with a 16-of-30 showing at the stripe (53 percent), making just 4 of 13 free-throw tries in the second half.

The Panthers recovered to finish at 39 percent from the field (26 of 66), while Quincy was 31 ot 62 for 50 percent. 

Ja'mil Jones had 22 points and Eneogwe finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Hawks, who lost to the Panthers for the sixth straight time in the series.

Adams now has scored an even 1,400 points for his career, No. 19 on the all-time DU charts, while Bundy moved to 1,026 points (40th on the DU career scoring list).

"I just want to say 'thanks' to our fans, our Fanthers and our boosters ... they made it loud in here and gave us energy," Hesser said. "My hats off to them for all that they do for our basketball team."
